OVERVIEW
Understanding the foundations of Catholic health care ministry is an essential competency for today's leaders. Executives, directors and managers who work in Catholic health settings are leaders of a ministry. For this reason, an understanding of the church's theological roots, social justice tradition and ethical framework is essential for the successful leader.
CHA is pleased to offer the Foundations of Catholic Health Care Leadership Program in an online format. In doing so, we hope to make the program more accessible and affordable to a broader audience.
The online course is organized into six sessions lasting up to two hours each. Each session will include up to two presentations, as well as opportunities for interaction via online chat, voice contact and electronic small group discussions. Registrants are expected to participate in all sessions. Assignments and reading materials will be available for download prior to each session.
Planning Note
To enhance the quality of the formational experience, we recommend that registrants consider participating as local, in-person groups if at all possible. This encourages quality interaction and learning based on the online program content. Those who participate as individuals will be linked electronically to other participants during group discussion periods to maximize their opportunity for interaction and learning. Learn more about individual and group participation.
