“Self-assessment surveys show that management skills increase during the year-long colloquium,” said Pascale Lane, M.D., professor of pediatric nephrology and Helen Freytag Distinguished Professor of pediatrics, who co-directs the program with Tim Durham, D.D.S., chairman of hospital dentistry.
Participants said the course improved their time management, leadership and interaction skills. “This was a helpful journey of self-discovery,” said one participant.
Said another: “The colloquium was a great way to meet others . and work together to create the best atmosphere for learning, research and service.”
The program is geared toward mid-career professionals with administrative positions who have no formal administrative training.
