UBC Master of Health Leadership and Policy (MHLP)

Business acumen is knowing how business works and applying that knowledge with the goal of business improvement. This approach is the crux of APPP 504, a three-week intensive course teaching our #MEL and #MHLP students, all technically skilled in their respective disciplines, how to come together across specializations to solve real-world business issues. Today, we heard from Dr. Wayne Rawcliffe, MBA, EdD, CPHR, SHRM, L.I.O.N. and Scott Sinclair, both UBC UBC Sauder School of Business professors, on the fundamentals of management and leadership. What lessons did you take away from today's discussion? Best of luck for the remainder of this intense but transformative course! #UBCMEL #UBCMHLP #BusinessSummerCamp #APSC #leadership #business #sauder #engineers #UBC #vancouver
