Course Description:

This course provides an overview of the conceptual and theoretical aspects of leadership within the context of the healthcare delivery system.

Selected leadership theories will be analyzed with an emphasis on implications for culture, quality, patient safety, and human resource management in a variety of healthcare settings.
