Become a strategic leader & foster gender equity in the workplaceWomen control 80% of health care purchase and usage decisions but hold less than 20% of executive health care leadership roles nationwide. In the Washington healthcare community, we have a higher number of women in leadership than other parts of the country.
The Women's Leadership Program is designed for women seeking to advance their career through impactful leadership and become a resilient leader in today's ever-evolving workplace. There is no better time than now to empower women to maximize their unique strengths and prepare them for their journey to senior leadership. WSHA is partnering with the University of California, Irvine’s Paul Merage School of Business – one of the most diverse business schools in the country, which has the highest number of female faculty per capita – to deliver its insightful academic content.
The integrated approach goes beyond standard education models by providing opportunties to:
-
Acquire in-depth
academic knowledge presented by Merage School distinguished faculty
-
Develop new skills through
application exercises and
case study analysis
-
Network, share, and strategize with peers during facilitated
peer coaching sessions
-
