My classmate Discussion.
The major theme of Module Five focused on the two project thesis assignments. I took both assignments as an opportunity to highlight my updated personal profile. My profile in reference to the ACHE core domains post and prior to joining my graduate program. I also referenced my favorite courses, as well to the material I feel was absent from the program, which could have been very helpful for me. As expressed, I find I have improved in all domains but leadership as I am constantly growing as a leader. Yet, business management was not offered to me in my program or at work. Yet I could have benefited from it tremendously.
Module 5 also introduced the 109 page NCHL Career Planning for improvement Tool. This tool highlights a different competency model. Through this tool, I have learned why a health-specific leadership model is important. As suggested a health care leadership model is good for strengthening the practice of health leaders with academic research, continuous learning opportunities, and for the diversity of health leaders
I will apply these lessons but continuously tracking my growth of the ACHE 5-domains even after graduation. Also through the NCHL assessment tool, I also have a sense of appreciation for the importance of the material I am learning in this program.
