The goals of this course are to improve your leadership skills through self-discovery, group discussions during synchronous sessions (teleconferences or face-to-face sessions), and collaborative networking.

The authors believe that the course content will arm you with actionable strategies and practical knowledge to help you address the challenges in the academic and health sciences university environment. The topics chosen for this online course are relevant to the mission, vision, values, and strategic goals of our institution.

The course is organized into two learning modules: Defining Leadership and Accomplishing Leadership. Each module consists of multiple topics:

Defining Leadership (1.0 CME/CNE credit)
- What is Leadership and How to Develop It? (0.5CME/CNE credits)
- Leadership Styles (0.5CME/CNE credits)
Accomplishing Leadership (6.0 CME/CNE credits)
- Understanding Leadership in Academic Institutions (1.0 CME/CNE credit)

- Running Successful Meetings (0.5 CME/CNE credit)
- Strategic Planning (0.5 CME/CNE credits)
- The Basics of Building a Budget (0.5 CME/CNE credits)

It is estimated that the entire course, with the assessment portion, will take you approximately seven (7) hours to complete, but you can take only one or two modules and get the respective number of credits, CME or CNE credit hours.

Following the learning modules, you will see a section with course resources (References, Suggested Readings, and Supplements) that you may find helpful.

For each module activity, you will complete a Self-Check Quiz. You must score 80% on each quiz to successfully complete a module. You will have three attempts for each quiz. Upon completion of the quizzes, you will receive a respective number of credits and/or CME/CNE credit hours. To maximize your experience, we encourage you to engage in our synchronous teleconference sessions.

Thank you for joining our Leadership Skills Online Course. We are looking forward to our continued collaboration!
