Curriculum Design
Dr. Valenzuela completed a fellowship focused on performance-based training and development, including curriculum design, delivery methods, training technology, and evaluation.
He has used this training to create courses that help doctors, clinicians, and administrators navigate common leadership and operational challenges. These courses focus on the essential skills and attitudes needed for success. Additionally, he introduces learners to innovations that will likely change how they practice clinical care.
Course Structure
Because studies indicate that participants will only retain a small amount of what is taught in lectures and because learning is more likely to be impactful when the participant is engaged in the activity, the course methodology is based on research from the Center for Creative Leadership which utilizes a blend of different approaches “in concert” to provide powerful engagement and meaningful results. The course structure is based on a multi-prong approach with brief online lessons followed by quizzes to ensure understanding of the topic. In addition, Dr. Valenzuela provides tools and resources that can be used to help you in your clinical setting.
Course Advantages
The major advantage of this format is that it ties the learning modules with clinical leadership scenarios. Best of all, it’s both accessible and affordable. This is ideally suited for physicians and administrators with key components completed on your own time at your own pace. In addition, because there is no travel or time away from clinical care, costs are minimal. Unlike some platforms that require an annual membership to access their courses, the platform allows you the option to pick the topics individually and pay as you go.
