DescriptionCASCADES’ Leadership for Change: Toward Sustainable Health Systems[1] course strengthens capacity for change-oriented health system leadership in the face of profound environmental and sustainability challenges. Through pre-work, four interactive sessions, team and individual mentorship, and debriefing opportunities, we explore the challenges and opportunities of improving, changing and transforming the health sector for sustainability. As part of CASCADES’ core training offerings, this course is free of cost. This course is designed to offer health leaders in Canada a new avenue to build knowledge, skills, and networks to help them promote and deliver sustainable health systems. It is grounded in the LEADS in a Caring Environment framework (Dickson & Tholl, 2014; 2020), and draws on various leadership and management theories, models, and methods to assess and strengthen relevant leadership capabilities. This course will be most useful for participants who have specific challenges or initiatives that they are working on in their healthcare setting. This course is developed in partnership with Vernissage Health (TM). Vernissage Health is a University of Toronto-affiliated leadership initiative that supports and develops the next generation of health leaders in Canada to create positive change in our health system. Vernissage Health has grown to encompass a suite of programs including a Health Leaders Dialogue Series for graduate students, an Early Career Health Leaders Mentorship Program, and the Built to Lead Podcast. As well, Vernissage Health works with other University affiliated programs, to promote learning and development of contemporary health leaders required to transform our health system. As a result of this partnership, participants in this course will be paired with a mentor. Mentors will help guide the development of participants’ leadership plans. This course is accredited with the College of Family Physicians of Canada (Mainpro+) and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (Section 1), and the Canadian College of Health Leaders’ Fellowship Select Program.
