Leadership Programs Leadership Has Always

Leadership Programs

Leadership has always been important for the betterment and success of U.S. businesses and nonprofit institutions. Now, this is true more than ever before. As the world becomes increasingly global, technology makes ever-rapid changes, and communication gets faster and more complex, it is imperative for companies to be led by farsighted individuals who not only care about their organizations' future, but the future of the people who keep it in motion.

Leadership such as this does not just materialize. People may be "born" with an ability to become a leader -- they have the desire, the personality, the charisma -- but they need education and training to mold and develop that foundation into the type of ethical leader required for the 21st Century.

Leadership Development Programs are especially designed for such recent college graduates who have demonstrated academic excellence and "high potential" throughout their formative years. These programs target candidates who have gained business acumen and savvy in work experience and/or education, as well as the desire and aptitude to be a source of support to large cross-functional teams.

Such a leadership development program fits well into my personal mission, vision and goals. As a woman who is positively challenged by change, I look forward to being a team player in a healthcare organization where I can act as a catalyst for enhancement and lead and empower other women to reach for success and attain their full potential. I hope to become an established leader who can influence others to create a compelling and inspirational picture of their future and translate their vision into action.

Thus far, I am proud of what I have attained in translating my own vision into action. I have a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Applied Medical Science with a major in Physical Therapy Rehabilitation from xxxx. In addition, I just received my Executive Master of Healthcare Administration -- Zayed University partners with Arizona State University, the University of Houston - Clear Lake and the University of Kentucky. My varied coursework included such pertinent topics as: Managing in the Health Environment, Comparative Health Care System, Human Resource Management, Ethical, Legal and Social Issues in Health Care, Accounting, Quantitative Methods & Computing for Managers, Managerial Epidemiology, Health Care Information Management, Economics and Financial Management, Quality Improvement, Planning and Marketing, Leadership and Strategy.

Over the past two years, I have acquired a wealth of experience in the medical field that I will be able to apply to my leadership experience and to future management positions. Just this past April I was promoted to Head of the Standard and Criteria Development Office for the Department of Health and Medical Services (DOHMS) in xxx (location?

). In this capacity, I am expected to ably handle a variety of responsibilities including: Overseeing all aspects of standards development activities and quality activities in the Licensing and Specifications Department with all the private healthcare facilities in the area; leading and supporting the development of standards and criteria related to the healthcare practice; contributing to the development and on going review of DOHMS standards strategy and offering advice about current clinical practices, quality, safety, and service development; and keeping abreast of standard requirements and evidence and effectively communicating these to a variety of concerned individuals.

The reason for this promotion to the Head of the Standard and Criteria Development Office was because of my previous success as the Head of the Clinical Auditing Unit, where I created the strategy for embedding clinical audits and standards of practice within private healthcare facilities, set audit priorities and implemented the strategies of the audit program. In addition, I ensured that these tasks were delivered and completed within the desired time-frame. Other highlights of my career thus far include membership on the quality facilitation team at John Hopkins Medical Center and Member of the Board of Emirates Physiotherapy Society Provisional Member of World Confederation for Physiotherapy. Professionally, I have taken numerous workshops and seminars in my field worldwide.
