Harvard’s Managing Ambulatory Care Workshop
When:
October 1-4, 2007
What:
This four-day intensive is for Community Health Center physicians and other clinicians in senior management positions to learn specific managerial skills that are essential in the CHC environment. Topics will include financial management, the enhanced role of the medical director, clinic operations, managing people, political issues and community leadership.
We offered this intensive in Fall 06 to a packed house and attendees had comments such as “the most impressive faculty and program that I have attended in my 45 professional years,” and “an exceptional course with great practical application that fills your head with possibility and hope.”
Why:
Community and migrant health centers face tremendous challenges with the increasing need for services, rising costs, declining government resources, and stiff competition for physicians and other clinicians. The challenges of the health care environment have put primary care physicians and other senior clinical managers in critical positions, but these staff members often have less substantial training and experience in management. Physicians must expand their knowledge of management concepts and understand their leadership role to effectively guide their health center through times of uncertainty and change.
