Topics include finance and budgeting, practice management and marketing, strategic planning and other subjects. Instruction is at the UHCL offices located in the Texas Medical Center. Attendees can also further their education with an advanced degree.

In fall 2017, UHCL expanded the program by partnering with leading regional healthcare systems to include the certificate for practicing physicians. At the successful completion of the program, participants receive the Physician Leadership and Management Certificate from UHCL. The program awards continuing medical education credits, and is also approved by the American Association for Physician Leadership to meet partial requirements toward the Certified Physician Executive program. 41 MOMENTUM / October 2018 For more details email Center for Executive Education Business Development Officer Jo Anne Laborde at [email protected] or call her at 281-212-1725. —————————————————————————— University of Houston-Clear Lake offers more than 80 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, and three doctoral programs, from its four colleges, formerly known as schools, which include the College of Business, College of Education, College of Human Sciences and Humanities, and College of Scienc
