NAVIG8 Emerging Medical Leaders Program [IH]
The NAVIG8 Program is a comprehensive leadership development program providing the practical leadership knowledge, behaviours and skills for emerging medical leaders. The program is designed for medical staff who aspire to, or currently occupy formal administrative leadership positions in the health authority and who wish to augment their medical background with applied operational skills.
The training occurs over two years and is a blend of:
- Eight 2-day in-person learning sessions facilitated by physicians, administrative leaders and key partners
- Online learning & supporting resources, tools and discussion forums between sessions
- Hands-on integration of learning through participant-led projects
- A mentorship program with participants connecting regularly with physician and administrative mentors
Through faculty presentations, case studies, group discussions, workshops, and individual exercises, participants examine the distinctive characteristics that define successful leaders. The curriculum balances thought-provoking analysis and dialogue with self-reflection and personal development.
The aim of the program is to build a community of medical leaders who can be effective partners in continuously improving care. Participants will:
- Develop a deeper awareness of their own leadership strengths & development opportunities
- Enhance their strategy, negotiation, conflict management, peer and team management and other key leadership skills
- Gain relevant knowledge on topics such as governance, credentialing & privileging, financial analysis, health care human resource planning, managing disruptive behaviour, etc.
- Develop competence for creating and sustaining change at a personal, team, and organizational level including learning the Dyad Leadership model
- Become more nimble in navigating the provincial health care system/environment
- Gain deeper insights into how to engage, inspire, and motivate their teams
