The Scholar-Practitioner in Health Care Administration
As you embark on the next phase of your journey as a scholar-practitioner in the health care administration
program, consider some of the topics and current events addressed in the course by your colleagues. As a
future leader in health care administration, how might you work to ensure individuals are afforded the right to
be well led and well managed? Additionally, through your work in understanding a value in systems thinking,
how might you ensure its proper representation for solutions to health care administration problems?
For this Discussion, select a health care administration leadership issue that interests you as a possible
research topic for a dissertation. Additionally, think about how your work completed in this course may assist
you in your dissertation and future career as a leader in health care administration.
The research topic of interest for me is healthcare workers response to covid and PTSD caused by covid in
patients.
Post a brief description of the current health care administration leadership issue you selected and explain why
that issue interests you. Then, explain two ways the information you gathered in this course can be applied to
your future dissertation research or to your role as a scholar-practitioner. Be specific and use examples to
illustrate your points.
