Designated Emphasis in Healthcare Leadership

The Designated Emphasis (DE) in Healthcare Leadership builds a foundation of knowledge and wealth of skills for medical students to utilize as they work towards becoming the healthcare system leaders, including deans, CEOs, and CMOs. Students will develop self-awareness, leadership, and communication skills, and will learn to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and foster professional networks with peers, mentors, and community leaders.
