Project Management Fundamentals in Healthcare

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? Why people keep doing things the way they’ve always been doing them – even if those processes aren’t working?

If you answered yes to any of those questions – then this course if for you!

This course is a combination of the best of my Healthcare Project Management (101) and Healthcare Project Management v2.0 (102) courses. The first half of this course provides an introduction to project management terminology and the project life cycle. While the second half of this course will repeat and build off of those concepts, diving deeper into each. The second part of this course also includes assignments and resources to encourage you to further apply your newly-gained knowledge. Because stories are known to improve learning, I’ve created healthcare project scenarios that we’ll follow throughout the entire course to help the information stick! You’ll also have an opportunity to create your own clinic profile and apply the information learned to a project unique to your organization.

I was a physical therapist that wore the hat of project manager in my organization for years without knowing what a project manager was. Now that I’ve formally studied the field, received my certification, and have been a practicing project manager in the healthcare space for years, it’s my goal to pass on the ‘what-I-wish-I-had-knowns’ to my fellow clinicians-turned-project managers/leads. Together we can make a positive difference in the awesome world of healthcare!

Let the journey begin!
