HLTH 7713 - Evidence-based Leadership in Health Sciences Education

Effective leadership in the education sector increasingly requires the ability to draw on multiple sources of evidence to inform classroom, policy, and programmatic decisions. This course reviews key concepts in leadership models, measurement, and research design and analysis that students will need to be skilled consumers of published education research, commissioners of policy and program evaluations, and interpreters of quantitative and qualitative data generated within their academic settings. Students will also consider how to make the use of appropriate evidence integral to organizational decision-making processes. 3 credits.
