| Lernziele |
This course introduces students to the discipline of project management and focuses in particular on the healthcare setting. Students will learn an implementation model: the project management canvas (Nieto-Rodriguez, 2021) and apply this to a case study based in the healthcare field. Students will also learn how to apply these concepts to an individual project (such as their master project or a future scientific project), culminating in an individual project handbook. The class also includes a case study and a review of leadership skills needed to implement successful projects with others. |
