Shifting our practice in light of the COVID-19 pandemic requires dedication, commitment and purposeful management of staff and resources, facing big economic challenges head on, and a constant look ahead toward what will be needed during recovery. The stakes in today’s ever-changing healthcare environment are high. Success or failure can hinge on your ability to see clearly, communicate effectively and lead skillfully. With the right infrastructure, your team will not lose sight of the fundamentals upon which excellence is built.

The GI Endoscopy Unit Leadership program highlights practical approaches to the management and operations of an endoscopy unit and takes a deeper dive into the core knowledge and competencies that leadership teams need to be effective managers, influencers and advocates for their units.

The live event was held in November 2020.

Upon completion of this educational activity, you will be able to:

• Describe from a clinical perspective how to make the unit the best environment for patients and the procedures performed from times of crisis through recovery.
• Define the fundamentals of purposeful management of staff and resources that support the success and vitality of the unit/organization.
• Discuss new technologies that will innovate our practice and improve patient outcomes.
• Discuss establishing and maintaining a culture of quality and safety.

The course is designed for current and emerging physician, nurse managers, APPs, and administrators from all sizes of GI units with a focus on ambulatory surgical centers and hospital GI units.
