Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, a Mubadala Health partner, in collaboration with INSEAD, The Business School for the World, concludes its two-year leadership program with 107 physicians successfully graduating from the program. This initiative is part of the hospital’s ongoing mission to foster a learning culture that focuses on developing future leaders and inspiring best-in-class talent.
Dr. Pascale Anglade, Medical Director of the Office of Professional Staff Affairs at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi who spearheaded this program said, “Our collaboration with INSEAD has been instrumental in equipping our caregivers and leaders with the essential skills needed to excel in their roles and drive innovation in healthcare. We are proud to invest in leadership development and upskilling our workforce, as it aligns with our vision of becoming the best place to work in healthcare. This program has empowered our participants to make a significant impact within their clinical spheres and provides world-class care to our patients.”
Launched in 2021, the curriculum of the program aims at cultivating a skilled and adaptable workforce and empowers leaders with the tools and knowledge needed to enhance patient care, drive innovation in healthcare and serve the community.
Stephen E. Chick, Professor of Technology and Operations Management at INSEAD said, “In an ever-evolving healthcare environment, it is a pleasure to work with a leading institution such as Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi in its effort to develop its leadership acumen and further improve its business model toward a more innovative form that keeps pace with sector developments.”
Participating physicians were divided into four cohorts over the course of the program where they studied a robust curriculum that focused on key leadership skills such as operational excellence and business model innovation. The program focused on important concepts related to effective conflict resolution, value creation in current clinical settings and solutions to tackle future healthcare challenges using an innovation-driven mindset.
Dr. Silvia Mulero, Staff Physician in the Anesthesiology Institute at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and a participant in the program said, “This program has given me the confidence to put my leadership skills to the test in a clinical environment. I have emerged as a more rounded individual. It has expanded my understanding of effective leadership, operational excellence, and business model innovation in healthcare. The knowledge and insights gained from the program have empowered me to initiate meaningful changes within my clinical sphere, ultimately enhancing patient care and driving positive outcomes. The cohort-shared experience has facilitated many operational synergies. I am grateful to Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi for giving me the opportunity to be part of this program and contribute to the ongoing innovation in the healthcare sector.”
