Re: New Wharton-PSOM Partnership


We are writing to inform you about an exciting new Wharton-PSOM partnership to co-create and deliver non-degree granting Executive Education in the areas of healthcare management and delivery, leadership development in academic health centers and health systems, and healthcare innovation. 

To advance this initiative, we have formed a Joint Steering Committee (JSC) chaired by Drs. Christian Terwiesch (Wharton) and Caryn Lerman (PSOM).  The JSC will lead in the design and delivery of jointly branded programs in the areas mentioned above, including both in-person and online offerings.  The first series of programs is designed to impart the knowledge and skills to lead successfully in a rapidly changing healthcare environment.  

The JSC will serve as the first point of contact for faculty or other organizational units considering new activities that fall within the areas of healthcare management and delivery, leadership development in academic health centers and health systems, and healthcare innovation.   We encourage you to contact Drs. Terwiesch or Lerman for further information on this initiative.
