Leadership building through Advisory Board Fellowship

Pharmacy leaders represent a critical leadership role at healthcare organizations. These leaders are involved in and accountable for a broad set of initiatives, which can drive both substantial revenue and substantial costs for the organization.

Pharmacy leaders guide organizational strategy around complex challenges — from keeping up with the fast pace of clinical innovation, to managing the high cost of drugs, to navigating the complicated specialty pharmacy landscape. Success will require pharmacy leaders to demonstrate greater emotional intelligence, resilience, adaptability, and agility than ever before.

Advisory Board Fellowship is designed to help executives navigate the complexities of the healthcare industry and develop the capacity to more effectively advance organizational performance.

Participating leaders leverage the Fellowship Practicum Project to positively impact finance, operations, quality, safety, and patient experience.
