What is the Leadership Essentials Course?
“The most eye-opening thing is the interactions with other participants, to find out that everyone struggles with the same issues. After this course, I feel much more confident about my leadership skills.”
In the Leadership Essentials Course, you will explore leadership topics that offer solutions to emergency care challenges facing Emergency Department leaders today. Together with ED leaders from around the world, you will gain invaluable training for improving your Emergency Department.
The Leadership Essentials Course is the original course at the International Emergency Department Leadership Institute (IEDLI) and has been offered since 2009. This one-week course consists of over 35 hours of interactive, in-person lectures and workshops.
