Healthcare Leadership

Develop Essential Skills for Leading Healthcare Teams

The Certificate in Healthcare Leadership program, a collaboration between Oregon State University and the Hospital Association of Oregon, addresses the common issue of promoting healthcare professionals to supervisory roles based on technical skills rather than leadership abilities. This comprehensive program enhances leadership skills, supports career advancement, and includes flexible in-person and online components. It begins with a two-day in-person session focusing on Resilience and Empathetic Leadership, exploring core leadership elements and identifying strengths, values, and growth areas.

Following the in-person session, participants engage in online asynchronous training, working together as a cohort through six modules:

  • Understanding Emotional Intelligence
  • Enhancing Interpersonal Communication
  • Resolving Conflict Through Dialogue
  • Promoting Inclusivity & Diversity
  • Developing Problem-Solving & Leading Change Skills
  • Facilitating Team Development and Collaboration
