You’re accountable for delivering education programs that meet institutional standards, but pulled in multiple directions by stakeholders, timelines, and legacy systems.
The situation this course is for
In academic healthcare settings, education leaders face mounting pressure to deliver high-quality, compliant, and scalable programs with limited coordination between pedagogical goals and IT infrastructure. Misalignment leads to duplicated effort, delayed rollouts, and stakeholder frustration. Without a clear framework, even skilled professionals struggle to prioritize, communicate trade-offs, or demonstrate impact.
Who this is for
A senior education strategist or product owner in an academic medical center, responsible for managing learning systems and ensuring program delivery aligns with institutional goals and compliance requirements.
Who this is not for
This is not for instructors focused solely on teaching delivery, entry-level training coordinators, or IT staff managing only technical uptime without strategic input.
What you walk away with
- Map educational demand to institutional strategy with precision
- Prioritize initiatives using a governance-weighted scoring model
- Integrate learning systems with existing IT service frameworks
- Communicate trade-offs clearly to clinical and administrative stakeholders
- Build self-sustaining program governance cycles
