Program for Chairs of Clinical Services

On-Site | Jan 19-31, 2025

Program for Chairs of Clinical Services will take place at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, MA from January 19-31, 2025.

This program brings together chairs of major clinical departments in teaching hospitals and health systems and an experienced interdisciplinary faculty for two weeks of intensive and systematic study of some of the critical leadership and management issues facing chairs, their departments, and teaching hospitals.

Upon completion, participants will have gained:

  • Increased understanding of their responsibilities and tasks as leaders of clinical departments and members of the leadership group of their institution
  • A broader appreciation of and insight into the external challenges facing, and changes occurring in, academic medical centers; the range of options and responses available; and the implications for their own institution, clinical service, and academic program
  • New perspectives on issues they face currently and on those which arise in the future
  • Knowledge of relevant concepts and techniques in several key management disciplines
  • New methods to analyze problems and an enhanced capacity to identify the critical questions
  • Greater effectiveness as departmental and institutional leaders in formulating and implementing new initiatives and managing change

This course also contributes to the Executive Leadership in Health Care Certificate of Specialization offered by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
