Description
Healthcare project leaders - Have you ever wondered why the programs at your organization aren't fully adopted? Why it feels like each department works in a silo instead of resembling actual teammates? Why the ball gets dropped so often? Why there's so much miscommunication?
The answer may be that your organization isn't following some fundamental project management (PM) best practices.
This course is designed for the healthcare project management (PM) novice. As a physical therapist, I was tasked with managing all kinds of projects without the slightest idea of project management best practices (and without the slightest idea that project management was even a thing!). My goal is to provide some foundational PM skills to those clinicians out there that have been tasked with implementing new programs or creating new processes in their organizations. My aim is to provide you with lessons learned, 'what I wish I had knowns', and basic skills to set you up for success in bringing your projects to completion!
Let the journey begin!

After 13 years of working as a physical therapist in various settings and organizations, I realized there was often a disconnect between leadership's visions and what was actually being implemented in the field. This disconnect led to frustrations on all ends.
Instead of giving up, I was inspired to find an answer.
From my perspective, the missing link was formal project management. I started studying the topic, received my certification, and after 15 years as a practicing clinician, transitioned into healthcare project management.
Leaving the field wasn't easy for me, but the gift of making the lives of my fellow clinicians easier has made it all worth it!
