About the Program
The PSNA Star Leadership Institute moves beyond educating healthcare providers through a single lens to creating a collaborative learning experience for all members of the healthcare team. An expanding evidence base, complex patient care needs, and healthcare mergers and acquisitions emphasize the need for a thorough understanding of today’s multifaceted systems and real-life problems. Globalization, migration, and health disparities require interdisciplinary and inter-professional solutions for improving the accessibility, quality, and cost of our nation’s healthcare.
To improve work process and patient outcomes, future providers must be practice-ready and prepared to work in interdisciplinary teams. Knowledge sharing across disciplines and care environments will be necessary to solve patient and system challenges. The Institute brings diverse disciplines together in an interactive educational experience designed to develop inter-professional teams through a curricula focused on finance, regulation, team building and negotiation, quality improvement, communication, and healthcare policy.
PSNA is proud of our more than 190 Institute graduates who began their leadership journey using the wide-angle lens of inter-professional education.
