Newswise — Reston, VA (Feb. 28, 2012) — The American College of Radiology’s (ACR) Radiology Leadership Institute™ (RLI) has partnered with Harvard Business Publishing to develop a customized leadership development program for the RLI. The goal of the program, expected to start in fall 2012, is to equip radiologists with the leadership skills required to successfully navigate the complex business of medicine.
Based on the RLI Common Body of Knowledge™, the program curriculum will include faculty sessions from professors with Harvard Business School and other leading institutions, case discussions moderated by Harvard Business Publishing faculty and eminent radiologists, self-paced activities (including e-learning modules, articles, videos and simulations,) and an application component that allows participants to apply the leadership learning to their real work environment.
During the three-month program, participants will meet weekly in a virtual (online) class. A new topic, selected specifically to address the leadership challenges in radiology, will be covered each month. The program, which will grant RLI credit, will be limited to 50 people per session to ensure maximum engagement.
“We are honored to be working with the Harvard Business Publishing organization as part of our effort to support and accelerate the development of innovative leaders who are ready to shape the future of radiology. With the rollout of health care reform, this has never been more important,” said Cynthia Sherry, MD, FACR, medical director of the RLI and chair of the ACR Commission on Leadership and Practice Development.
Over the next several months the RLI Board of Directors and RLI staff will continue to work with Harvard Business Publishing to develop the virtual program curriculum, ensuring that it meets participant needs.
Harvard Business Publishing partners with clients to create leadership development solutions for managers at all levels. The team leverages the management insight, thought leadership, and expertise of Harvard Business School faculty and authors from Harvard Business Review to create tailored leadership development solutions.
