Healthcare Leadership Academy
The purpose of the HLA is to establish a cohesive and comprehensive program that offers training opportunities and development of essential skills for leaders in the 21st century academic health center. In part, this is accomplished by providing present and future leaders with a broader understanding of the responsibilities of leaders, new perspective on critical leadership and managerial issues they will face, and a deeper understanding and awareness of concepts and techniques relevant to management.

Presentations will teach methods to lead collaborative teams, motivation techniques, and goal setting for teams.

Participating faculty have the opportunity to complete a series of self-assessments such as the DiSC assessment and a 360-degree assessment. Following a series of group consultations with an executive coach, individual group members decide upon a focus area of growth, and are assigned to a small group of other DOP faculty members who have shared goals. These groups then meet monthly for facilitated group coaching sessions led by trained executive coaches from L&D.
