This course is designed to expose to students to the principles of relational leadership– a human-centered approach to working better together that prioritizes the quality of our relationships as a driving force that increases collaboration, equity, and impact across health systems and communities. Students will apply the relational leadership framework to develop tangible skills for advancing teamwork, communication, collaborative decision making, psychological safety, and trust. Students will have interactions with multiple leaders in healthcare, community, and academic spaces, building a network of community while also focusing on their individual growth in leadership. Both professors will share their application of relational leadership as they have built infrastructure and systems for engaged partnership and community building. Dr. Zomorodi’s expertise in building pan-university partnerships and engagement with rural communities blends nicely with Dr. Aliaga’s expertise focused on relationship building in hierarchical systems and across the care continuum.
