It provides opportunities for devising innovative strategic recommendations for health care organizations. Its design is based on the National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL) competency of strategic orientation: the "ability to consider the business, demographic, ethno--cultural, political and regulatory implications of decisions and develop strategies that continually improve the long--term success and viability of the organization." Students in this course will take the role of a strategic consultant, able to bring a senior leadership perspective and state-of-the-art techniques to this endeavor.
