The program is designed to develop leadership competencies among healthcare educators and practitioners, equipping them with essential skills in communication, decision-making, and professional accountability within clinical and academic settings.
Representing UC in this training were Lily Christy D. Baludda, Daisy B. Itchock, Beth B. Viduya, and Grace C. Espino. Their participation reflects UC’s continuing commitment to faculty development and to strengthening collaboration between academic institutions and healthcare facilities.
