Abstract:
A dramatic trend has developed in leadership preparation: the use of Arts Based Training (ABT). Recent literature has reported that the corporate world and graduate business degree programs have discovered the significant value that the arts can play in educating and developing management talent. The MFA (Master of Fine Arts) is the new MBA! The reasoning behind this shift is the increased need for "right brain" thinkers. This trend may very well extend to healthcare leadership. This paper provides a comprehensive literature review, a section on possibilities for ABT in healthcare organizations, a section on possibilities for ABT in Graduate Education of Healthcare Leaders, a summary rationale for using ABT for developing healthcare leaders, and conclusions and recommendations.
