Clinical Management and Leadership Program

About the Program

In this era of rapid change and advancing technologies, The George Washington University (GWU) is proud to offer the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences – Clinical Management & Leadership degree through distance learning.

• It provides an exciting and dynamic way for busy professionals to use their homes or offices as virtual classrooms to advance their knowledge, skills and careers without ever setting foot on campus.
• Health science professionals with associate degrees or certificates from hospital programs – radiographers, respiratory therapists, nurses, and medical laboratory technicians to name a few – have faced limited educational opportunities that build upon their preparation in a clinical discipline. Whether one’s goal is career advancement, graduate study, enhanced performance in a current position, or simply to broaden knowledge and skills, the Clinical Management and Leadership Program provides a unique opportunity for working health science professionals to receive an undergraduate degree.
• Courses in the Clinical Management and Leadership Program focus on communication skills, leadership/group effectiveness, administrative functions, operations and information management, consumer needs, and the changing face of health care. In short, the program provides students with the knowledge, abilities, and vision to move health sciences organizations effectively into the next millennium.

All courses are based on the World Wide Web and offered in a flexible format that meets the needs of busy, working adults. For example, rather than meeting on a given day at a given time, each “class” session typically lasts from 12:01 Monday until midnight the following Sunday. Students log on to classes, download course materials, complete assignments and participate in class discussions anytime during the 7 day, 24 hour per day time period.

The program does not require any visits to campus. For many of our students, commencement is the first time they set foot on campus- and even that is optional!
