To confront the challenges facing modern health care , experts and organizations are calling for an increase in leadership· capabilitles. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) calls for a "focus on organizational leadership in a new era of health care.' The mission statement or the Tulane University School of Medicine states "...to deliver the highest quality patient care and prepare the next generation of distinguished clinical and scientific leaders. To meet this need, this course, Leadership In Health Care, will engage with leadership topics to intentionally train students in the qualities consistently demonstrated by leaders when performing at their personal best with a focus on topics particularly crucial to healthcare.
