About the Summer School
In this multi-disciplinary course on leadership, we zoom in on the hybrid role of healthcare professionals who are also (frontline) managers. The course is rooted in the healthcare sector but takes an organizational sociological perspective. We address the following 5 topics in 20 weeks blended online Master course; 1. Introduction on Leadership in Healthcare 2. Dealing with Hybrid roles in Healthcare Management 3. The influence of Professional Habitus on Healthcare Leadership 4. Healthcare organizations: different logics in one building 5. Healthcare leadership in action: Failing and Learning. Are you ready for the next step in your career?
Healthcare organizations are difficult to manage. Different logics and value systems are at play. Leadership and management are of importance when aiming at ensuring high-quality patient care, employee satisfaction, and overall organizational effectiveness. This is particularly so for frontline managers; they are the key interface between care, cure, and managerial control as they are “close to the action”.
Despite an impressive amount of research in the field of healthcare leadership and management, there are to date only a few studies examining leadership in terms of its practices related to the professional habitus of these health professionals, in the context of everyday work. In this course, we will try and bridge this gap by working with you on your own professional development as a leader and in making the next step in your career in healthcare.
After completion of this course you will be able to:
• Make the next step in your career in healthcare leadership.
• Contribute to enhancing the quality of care and patient safety in your healthcare organization.
• Understand the added value of both clinically and managerial strong healthcare leaders.
• Use and explain the basic terminology and principles used in management and leadership (research) in healthcare.
• Differentiate between several research methods, like shadowing or diary method, of the Managerial Work and Behavior approach and use them in several small field studies
• Explain the concepts of habitus, hybrid management, institutional logics and issues concerning managerial work in action
• Characterize and describe the daily work of a manager in the organizations you work in.
• Read and elaborate on managerial and leadership research related to healthcare organizations
• Discuss and reflect on the experiences of shadowing with fellow students

COURSE AIM
The aim of the course is that you will become familiar with the basic issues leadership and management in large healthcare organizations deal with on a daily basis. We will raise your organizational awareness, give insight into your professional (clinical) background in relation to leadership challenges. Please remember that this course has a focus on your professional socialization as a healthcare professional (e.g. physician, nurse) in the lead. We will not cover the more administrative topics like finance, accounting, planning, control but will have a more activity orientated stance towards you as a leader or manager (to be) in your own daily work
