Program Overview

The Egypt Leadership in Medicine (ELIM) program is targeted to an audience of health professionals who are residing and working in Egypt and are seeking to develop their leadership skills. This 6-month certificate program is designed for senior and executive-level hospital, primary care, ambulatory, community and other health care facility administrators, chief nursing officers, department directors and other health care professionals with supervisory, management or executive-level responsibilities. The Leadership in Medicine program will also be beneficial to clinicians who are transitioning or seeking to transition into administrative management or executive roles. Mid-level medical and non-medical personnel and staff who aspire to become directors, executives and administrators will also find tremendous value in the knowledge and skills taught. These professionals will have a minimum of 5 years of experience post-primary terminal degree (e.g., MBBCh).
