Course Description:

Learners enter into a final phase of selfreflection on key learnings from the course and create a personal leadership development plan. Proven leadership self assessment tools including the Leadership Practice Inventory, resilence and influencer tests will inform the self reflection process. Learners will also interview a digital health leader in the field to examine how these leadership competencies manifest in practice within digital health and receive the reflections of a career coach in digital health leadership. Peer and small group dialogue as well as the final Self Reflection Paper will embed learning into one's leadership practice now and in future.
