-: Hi, everyone.
Welcome to module one.
This week we're going to be introducing
the concept of global health leadership.
We're going to be giving an overview
of global health organization structure.
In order to be an effective global health leader,
it is important to learn about the players in the field.
In order to do that, throughout the course, we're going
to discuss various aspects of healthcare organizations.
This week we're going to begin,
but by an overall description
of some ways different organizations are structured.
A key thing we're going
to be returning to throughout this course
is comparing and contrasting
different global health organizations
and the approaches that they use to realize their goals.
This week, you have some readings and videos to watch.
After completing these,
you'll have a quiz and two discussions on Yellowdig.
In the first discussion, you'll introduce yourselves,
and in the second, you're going
to use a self-assessment tool developed
by the UK's National Health Service
to learn about different leadership competencies.
As always, feel free to reach out
with any questions or concerns.
I hope that you all have a good week.
