Health System Simulation: A Unique, Immersive Experience
In today’s healthcare environment, leaders must be adept at navigating the changing consumer and regulatory landscapes. This month, healthcare leaders can experience the challenges of executive leadership and strategic decision-making with the Health System Simulation program, Feb. 23–25.
Offered in collaboration with Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, this unique learning experience emulates the full breadth and complexity of leadership in today’s competitive marketplace, and offers participants the opportunity to earn up to 21 ACHE Face-to-Face Education and Interprofessional Continuing Education credits.
Unfamiliar with simulation education? In this episode of the Healthcare Executive Podcast, John S. Winkleman, a faculty member at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, discusses the innovative new Health System Simulation course. He explains why simulation learning is particularly effective for healthcare leaders, as it allows them to see what happens when they’re in the driver’s seat. And, check out this ACHE Blog post that lists the many benefits of simulation education such as real-time feedback and the freedom to make mistakes.
If you can’t make the February program, other virtual sessions are scheduled for April 20–22 and June 22–24. Learn more and register today.

Creating Behaviors That Unlock Performance Excellence
“At the end of the day, you will never be able to conquer your outside world until you first learn how to calm and conquer your inside world,” write Michael E. Frisina, PhD, and Robert Frisina in a chapter of their new book: Leading with Your Upper Brain: How to Create the Behaviors That Unlock Performance Excellence. Based on the premise that it’s vital for leaders to engage team members’ upper brains—which control critical reasoning, judgement and creativity—this expert father and son duo share a modern, science-based approach to performance management and leadership development that fits any organization type or size.
Each chapter offers key takeaways, tips, resources and thought-provoking questions that will help leaders shift their behavior. In changing their own behavior, leaders can then help employees tap into their upper-brain resources for growth, development and higher cognitive function that drive higher levels of performance.

Join Us Tomorrow for a Free Webinar on Physician Leadership
With the rapid increase in the number of physician leaders, different roles and responsibilities have grown and moved past the traditional CMO position. During a Feb. 7 career-focused webinar, “Physician Leadership: Many Paths, Many Roles,” presenters Carson F. Dye, FACHE, and Kathleen Forbes, MD, CPE, FAAFP, will discuss how physician leader roles have evolved and how physicians can prepare for this career journey. Specifically, they will address key issues physician leaders are facing, traditional and unconventional advancement pathways and why organizations need leaders who are still full-time clinicians.
