Leadership Development

 

The Foundations of Nursing Leadership program is designed to develop nursing managers and supervisors through interactive classes and group mentoring sessions facilitated by trained mentors. This year-long program emphasizes the application of new learnings in the workplace and skill augmentation in peer mentoring groups.

Our Executive Fellowship program targets and trains our high-performing, high-potential leaders at the manager and director levels to reach even higher. This select program is hosted every two years in partnership with  Southern Methodist University Cox School of Business, Executive Education, and it functions like an executive MBA program for clinical leaders. The fellowship includes four functional areas, including:

• A 10-course curriculum
• An individualized career development plan (CDP) based on a formal 360 and personality assessment
• Mentorship from a senior Baylor Scott & White Health executive
• A capstone project approved by facility senior executives

Growth plans are important at every stage of your nursing career. Through our Succession Planning program, you work with talent development resources to build out a roadmap for success based on your individual goals and skills. This includes identifying where you might need additional education and training, mentorship and experience.

Evidence shows that national certification coupled with formal education improves patient outcomes by enhancing the knowledge and confidence of the nurse. Nurses at Baylor Scott & White Health have access to national certifications in different specialty areas through our Certification Rewards program. At all levels in nursing, we encourage and recognize the value of professional certifications.
