announces

 Leadership Training & Development for

Executives who serve Catholic Healthcare

 

The program of training and formation for executive leadership is designed to:

 

  • Provide a foundation in the Roman Catholic tradition of moral theology and social teaching requisite to be an effective advocate for the mission of Catholic healthcare.

  • Help participants develop skill in the application of Catholic teachings to organizational and clinical challenges in health care financing and delivery.

  • Form an ongoing community of information and support that fosters the formation of participants. This community has virtual and real-time aspects.

 

Program of Training

The program has two major components. Brief real-time sessions combine with on-line course work to provide training in the theological, clinical, and organizational aspects of leadership in Catholic healthcare. The program consists of:

  1. Training sessions at the annual Foundations of Catholic Healthcare Ethics conference that is conducted each year on the campus of the Loyola Stritch School of Medicine.

  2. Completion of a minimum of two graduate level courses, one chosen from each of the two categories:

Category I: Catholic Moral Teaching (Select one of the following options)

 

  • Moral Theology for Catholic Bioethics (BEHP414) – John Hardt, PhD – online graduate level course.

  • Catholic Bioethics in Practice (BEHP415) – John Hardt, PhD - online graduate level course.

 

Category II: Organizational and Clinical Ethics (Choose one of the following courses that deal with the ethics of finance or delivery of health care)

 

  • Organizational Ethics  (BEHP412) – Mark Kuczewski, PhD, Patricia Cassidy, MBA
    This is a summer course that consists of 4 weeks of online learning and a two-day intensive course on the campus of Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.

  • Clinical Bioethics (BEHP401) – Mark Kuczewski, PhD, Erin Egan, MD, JD - online graduate level course.

  • Organizational Ethics II: Healthcare Leadership (BEHP491, Special Topics) -
    Mark Kuczewski, PhD, Patricia Cassidy, MBA - online graduate level course.

Key Program Feature: Commitment to Flexible Delivery Models and Ongoing Support

 

The program is delivered predominantly through an online delivery system that is utilized for the master of arts program in bioethics and health policy at the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. This program has been highly successful and popular with mid-career professionals around the country. 

 

The program has been popular because of its ability to establish a virtual community. The online environment enables these mid-career professionals to discuss the concepts with each other and to apply them to their vast stock of institutional experience. The online environment fosters a much larger volume of discussion and analysis than is possible in a real-time graduate seminar. As a result, these adult learners come to know each other very well and are able to create ongoing peer relationships beyond the life of the training.
