Weill Cornell Medicine Alumni –Qatar (WCM-Q) and doctors from the Hamad Medical Corporation received certificates after completing an intensive course of leadership and mentoring.
After the successful completion of the internationally recognised ILM Level 5 Certificate in Leadership and Management, 49 doctors were honoured at a ceremony at the W Hotel.
The programme is designed to improve leadership skills and attitudes for qualified physicians and offers practical skills, tools and techniques as well as background knowledge to build the requisite management skills.
The doctors received their certificates at a ceremony in front of Dr Javaid I Sheik, Dean of WCM-Q, Dr Aksam Yassin, Deputy Chief Medical Officer of Hamad Medical Corporation, Medical Staff Office, and Alia Taub, Chief Executive Officer of Leadership Focus, who delivered the course.
Dr Javaid Sheikh said the qualification would allow the doctors to continue their career progression and further healthcare in Qatar.
Dr Sheikh said: "As medical leaders in your own right, albeit at different stages in your careers, you already know the challenges that hospitals and healthcare environments place on leadership roles. I hope this programme has helped you to overcome those challenges but also to empower you to make the positive changes that may be needed in your workplace, and to lead your teams with confidence. Her Highness Sheikha Moza, chairperson of Qatar Foundation, places great importance on empowering our alumni so that along with their education and knowledge, they have the confidence and leadership skills required to make a difference to the nation and I am sure you will be that difference.”
The doctors completed eight modules in seven workshops covering the following topics: management and leadership styles, performance management, presentation and communication skills, decision-making, change management, emotional intelligence, influence and assertiveness skills, and coaching and mentoring skills.
The course was jointly coordinated between WCM-Q’s Office of Alumni Affairs and the Office of the Chief Medical Officer at HMC.
