| Healthcare Faculty - One Foot in Medicine
and One Foot in Business |
|
When building the
certificate, we identified experts on each topic to
design and deliver the individual courses. Criteria in
selecting instructors included two questions: were they
practitioners in their expertise and could they
translate their expertise into experiential learning in
a classroom full of adult learners.
Dr. James
Mason, Director of the Office of Multicultural Health,
intends to create a comfortable environment for
healthcare professionals to discuss the setbacks and
opportunities they face when interacting with
cross-cultural colleagues and patients. His course,
Culturally Competent Patient-Centered Care, is the first
in the series and begins January 9th. "I think it's
important to communicate a rationale for cultural
competence, culturally diverse health beliefs, and
systemic and individual barriers to cultural
competence," he said.
Dr. Jim Tuchschmidt,
Director of the Portland VA Medical Center and
instructor in the program, cites a need for deeper study
of management and leadership skills. Students will self
analyze their own strengths in balancing management
skills and the art of leadership. Tuchschmidt will help
students get new insights into this delicate balance
that today's healthcare executive needs. He'll lead a
course called Deciphering the Management and Leadership
Matrix.
