MBM 5521 - Reflective Leadership in Healthcare

This course is designed to explore how organizational leaders, coaches, and consultants apply mindfulness practices and principles to enhance their individual leadership experience. Intertwining scholarly conversations and experiential components, students examine research and applications of contemplative and mindfulness practices in the context of the individual leader, their experience, and their impact on coworkers and colleagues. Discussions and assignments examine how the individual leader can reorient dispositions toward reflective postures and practices to serve as a foundation for transforming healthcare towards integrated approaches, integrative models, and patient-centered systems. The course's objectives include the students' cultivation of their own contemplative styles as well as developing strategies to introduce reflective practices to community and organizational settings.  

This course satisfies one of the core requirements for the Mindfulness Applications Certificate.
