Develop Your Project Management Skills In A Certificate Designed for Healthcare Professionals

Online  |  35 PDUs 

Healthcare organizations today face an unprecedented complexity of challenges that impact their ability to maintain fiscally sound operations, patient safety, and compliance with government regulations. These challenges have revealed the need and created an escalating demand for healthcare professionals with specialized training and skills in project management.

This course enables participants to learn and practice the tools and techniques needed for project management roles in healthcare. Participants will learn how to identify and execute appropriate planning, organizing, and controlling steps for projects, while ensuring quality. Additionally, several best practices in healthcare project management will be covered: negotiation, communication, risk management, change management, and coordination between the project and management, clients, users, team members, and support groups.

This is an online, mostly asynchronous course. There will be three synchronous meetings as a class, and you will be assigned to a group with whom you will work on a case study throughout the course.

In this course, you will:

  • Apply concepts and terms commonly used in healthcare projects by discussing the project with teammates.

  • Execute the various phases of managing a healthcare project from initiation to closing by working through a project case study with their team.

  • Compare and contrast the outcomes of different healthcare projects by discussing various aspects as they complete their group project.

  • Analyze interpersonal aspects of managing a healthcare project by working with a team. 

  • Explain and defend project management decisions selected by their team for successfully managing various healthcare projects.
