Frequently Asked Questions
How many days do you recommend for a custom program?
The ideal program duration, or length of days, is dependent upon your needs. Your healthcare challenges are taken into account when reviewing topics, speakers, optimum length of stay, and fees to bring you the best value for your learning experience. We have even held one-day programs for organizations where the need for education is a narrow focus or there is limited time to attend.
Where do custom programs take place?
Custom programs can be held either at our hospital campus or yours. At Cleveland Clinic, most programs are held on our main campus. Alternately, we are happy to make arrangements at your organization. For example, we have held in-country programs in South America, the Middle East and Asia.
Who have you served to date?
Hospital administrators, physician leaders, industry leaders in pharmaceutical companies, commercial real estate, and more.
What kind of topics do you offer?
We offer a broad spectrum of topics from hospital management to executive leadership development. See examples of session topics here.
Who teaches the information? How many instructors?
Our instructors are leaders from the highest levels of Cleveland Clinic -- physicians or administrators who are leading our transformation and success.
Is there a limit to the number of people who can attend the program?
No. Keep in mind that the number of attendees affects meeting space reservations. If planning for a large group, start early.
Is there a minimum number of attendees?
No.
I have a group of non-English speaking leaders. What are my options?
If you arrange for simultaneous interpretation, our faculty is skilled in collaborating on translation of their content to attendees.
How much time do you require to consult, plan and conduct a program?
A six-month notice is optimum to secure Cleveland Clinic leaders from the highest level of management. However, three months allows time for scheduling meeting space and refreshments. Because faculty is based upon availability we recommend you reach out to us with as much time to plan as possible to review your options.
Are there pre-requisites?
No.
How do I show evidence of my attendance?
