The American College of Healthcare Executives will be hosting a panel event at CBI on Oct. 4th, 2023. This event is free for students interested in hearing from local healthcare executives about managing staff in various healthcare facilities. 

Leadership and leading others is more of an art than science, especially in healthcare. Normally the topic of leadership and management principles is learned by completing formal education programs and continuing education in healthcare management – but more than often leadership and building a successful team is learned “on-the-job”.

New and younger healthcare leaders are playing a bigger role in organizational transformation and managing others. At times, the new healthcare executive may be in a leadership position for the first time or may have little direct experience compared to those who they are managing.

The panelists will present strategies for successfully navigating these leadership challenges and insight into how to avoid common management mistakes.

Moderator:

  • John Gennaro, Medical Center Director, Department of Veterans Affairs

Panelists:

  • Dr. Jestin Carlson, National Director of Medical Affairs, US Acute Care Solutions and Program Director, Emergency Medicine, St. Vincent Hospital
  • Elizabeth Riordan, Director of Operations, UPMC Hamot
  • Kortney Wolff, Manager, Education and Informatics, Department of Veterans Affairs
