The Illinois Hospital Association and Rush University have partnered to create The Leadership Academy for Healthcare Transformation, an education program for healthcare professionals.
The three-month program includes online and in-class curriculum. It is led by faculty from Rush and healthcare executives from IHA and other organizations.
"The Leadership Academy for Healthcare Transformation is designed to give current and aspiring healthcare leaders an arsenal of leading-edge business principles and care delivery models to develop and implement innovative solutions within their organizations," Maryjane Wurth, the president and CEO of IHA, said.
The program's classroom sessions are scheduled for March 19-21 and June 11-13, and there are seven webinars as well as an applied learning project. The course costs $5,500 per person.
