Leading Transformation in Healthcare Micro-Credential

Self-Study

Healthcare organizations face unprecedented pressure to adapt—from technological disruption and regulatory changes to evolving patient expectations and workforce challenges. The ability to lead meaningful, sustainable transformation has become an essential competency for physician leaders and healthcare executives.

This micro credential equips you with the frameworks, strategies, and practical tools needed to drive successful organizational change in complex healthcare environments. Through six focused courses and a capstone action plan, you'll develop the skills to navigate resistance, align stakeholders, transform culture, and deliver results that improve both organizational performance and patient outcomes. This self-paced micro-credential includes over 30 hours of content, with all courses filled with actionable takeaways.

What You'll Learn:
Beginning with Embracing Change, you'll explore the psychology of change and develop strategies for building personal and organizational resilience. Practical Principles of Change Management introduces proven methodologies for planning, implementing, and sustaining change initiatives, while Transforming Culture in Healthcare Organizations addresses the deeper challenge of shifting mindsets, behaviors, and values across your organization.

Project Management Overview for Physician Leaders provides essential skills for keeping transformation initiatives on track, on budget, and aligned with strategic goals. You'll then examine the unique complexities of healthcare systems in Leading Complex Organizations, learning to navigate matrixed structures, competing priorities, and diverse stakeholder interests. Leading and Managing Strategic Change brings these concepts together, focusing on enterprise-level transformation that creates lasting competitive advantage.

Action Plan:
The micro-credential culminates in developing a comprehensive action plan where you'll apply what you've learned to a real transformation challenge in your own organization. You'll identify specific opportunities, assess readiness, engage stakeholders, anticipate obstacles, and create a roadmap for implementation. This practical application ensures you leave the program with immediately actionable strategies to drive meaningful change.
