| Lernziele |
Leaders in healthcare face environments that are volatile, uncertain and complex and they often interface with multiple stakeholders on a daily basis. The WHO has identified Leadership & Governance as one of the six building blocks in the WHO Health Systems Framework, which is focused on strengthening health systems. This course will help prepare students to work successfully in the field of healthcare by giving them a solid foundation in the both the theory and practice sides of leadership and governance. We will also cover leadership challenges that are unique to healthcare.
The students will
• learn various models for leadership
• understand leadership at the individual, group and organizational levels
• apply theories and other learnings from the material to case studies
• develop and understand their own leadership style
• be able to critically reflect on and discuss these topics |

| Prüfung |
- Students may choose how they wish to earn 3 ECTS for this course:
o There is an optional leadership portfolio due at the end of the semester in which students can earn up to 50% of their grade (10 assignments worth 5% each)
o If a student submits a leadership portfolio with 1 to 10 assignments, then the final exam for them counts (100%-X%), where X reflects the number of assignments completed x 5%. For example, 5 completed assignments x 5% = 25%, and then the final exam would count for 75% of the final grade.
o If a student does not submit a leadership portfolio, then the final exam for them counts 100%
IMPORTANT: In order to earn credits and participate at the exam registration via Uni Portal within the exam registration period is MANDATORY. Further information: www.unilu.ch/en/study/courses-exams-regulations/health-sciences-and-medicine/exams/ |
