  • Master the knowledge to be seen as an effective radiology leader by other departments.
  
 
Learn Along With a Cohort of Your Peers
 
In this 12-week virtual program, you'll learn how to align radiology with your hospital boardroom and better steward your organization’s operations, finances and relationships, including these key skills:
 
  • Recognize the critical relationship between radiology and hospital operations.
  • Identify how to create the right organizational structure to navigate radiology and hospital operations.
  • Describe how to align members of a team with diverse perspectives and backgrounds around performance goals.
