ACHIEVEMENT (mid-cAreer faCulty leadersHIp dEVElopMENT)
We are excited to announce the call for nominations for the 2nd cohort of our RSOM ACHIEVEMENT Program, and we invite your mid-career faculty to participate.
We believe that strong leadership is the cornerstone of outstanding healthcare delivery. Our Leadership Development Program is designed to cultivate the next generation of health system leaders by providing them with the skills, knowledge, and experiences necessary to navigate the complexities of the health system. In partnership with the Stony Brook College of Business, we have created a series of evidence-based interactive workshops to help the participating faculty practice the core skills that today’s leaders need.
The program will be delivered as a hybrid, with a monthly in-person session and an additional monthly zoom session. Each in-person session will focus on a key theme; the program includes role plays, mini case studies, and scripts for common health care system leadership situations. Each zoom session will give opportunities for one-on-one discussions with other program participants and RSOM leadership for a deeper dive into the themes discussed in the in-person workshops.
Program Highlights
- Comprehensive Training: Gain insights from experienced leadership trainers through workshops, guest speakers, and interactive discussions.
- Mentorship: Receive guidance from senior leadership to help you navigate your career path.
