Descriptions

(Two separate 4-hour sessions)

We’ve expanded Leader Orientation. The course now includes two separate 4-hour sessions.  The topics include legal aspects of leading/managing, the manager’s HR-related responsibilities, and promoting compliance.

Due to the addition of new content, we recommend Leader Orientation, Part Two for leaders who attended Leader Orientation in the past and who never attended our retired Tier 1 program.

Part One: Leading at UW Medicine (4 hrs)

This session formally welcome leaders into their leadership roles at UW Medicine while orienting them to the expectations of leaders and resources to prepare for their journey toward becoming outstanding leaders at UW Medicine. A “Patients Are First” overview is also provided.

Part Two: Leadership Responsibilities: Human Resources and Compliance (4 hrs)

This session focuses on the important legal aspects of managing staff, highlights the leader’s HR-related responsibilities, and addresses the leader’s role in promoting organizational compliance. Participants are also introduced to a variety of resources available to help them carry our their responsibilities in these areas. Facilitation of this session is shared by Organization Development & Training, UW Medicine Human Resources, and Compliance.

Who should attend? All new leaders at UW Medicine should attend both Leader Orientation offerings as soon as possible after entering their leadership role. All leaders are welcome to attend to refresh and align their approach to leadership at UW Medicine.

Part One and Part Two do not have to be taken in order.
Some sessions will be provided virtually, online via Zoom.
