An administrative medicine program for clinician-executives
Abstract:
An educational curriculum for clinician-executives has been developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A comprehensive range of subjects is offered on flexible schedules, including weekends, to accommodate practicing health professionals. Courses may be taken for graduate credit leading to a master's degree in preventive medicine/administrative medicine or for continuing medical education credit. Course projects relate to problems or issues relevant to the student's work environment. The core curriculum includes: current health systems; health care management, planning, and evaluation; information sciences; values; and clinical preventive medicine. Degree requirements may be met in one full-time calendar year or over a several-year part-time period. This curriculum has demonstrated the need for and value off programs directed toward strengthening the executive skills and roles of clinicians.
