Healthcare Leadership in Radiology
The Healthcare Leadership Fellowship was established in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging in 2012. Since its inception we have been dedicated to developing future leaders not only within radiology, but within healthcare and society. Our mission is intertwined with that of the Yale School of Management – creating leaders in business and society. With this mission in mind, we uphold several core competencies:
- Bridging the gap between clinical expertise and business acumen to provide higher value healthcare to all.
- Providing time, space, and support for personal involvement in innovation and exploration.
- Understanding the breadth and depth of healthcare management and leadership.
We are particularly proud of the vastness of opportunity available to our Healthcare Leadership Fellows, which allows each to have their own unique experience and mold their pathway while they are with us. This program, in conjunction with our newly established resident elective, sets the foundation for a brighter healthcare future.
Origins of the Fellowship
Radiology is a field with tremendous opportunities for entrepreneurship, operational excellence, quality improvement, strategic vision and leadership. Medical school, residency, fellowship and continuing medical education provide scant opportunities for rich leadership education. Understanding that there is a gap in this type of leadership education was the impetus behind beginning the MBA for executives program.
Yale is relatively unique among its peers in having a single campus, closely affiliated Medical and Management schools and well-respected healthcare management programs. For the past 12 years, we have had an MBA for Executives program which has already graduated 250 healthcare professionals as of 2017.
We relish the opportunity to provide our fellows with a broad array of opportunities that will allow them to take on leadership roles in clinical practice, academic health centers, life sciences companies or elsewhere: with the common theme of improving healthcare, access, and quality.
