“The real life analysis and examples
through the case studies were very
helpful for me and the investing
information was beneficial on both a
personal and company level.”

Physician Leadership College
“It’s hard to imagine that studying leadership could be more difficult than a board review course. It’s also hard to imagine that the UST PLC could be so crucial to physician leaders, but it is true. If but for the fact that I am happier at work, helping develop others’ skills and sleeping better at night, this course is well worth it.”

Michael Van Scoy, MD
Medical Director, Payor Strategy and Care Management,
Essentia Health

   

Mini MBA Program

Sue H., Marketing Professional

Custom Program

"A couple of years ago we identified the need to offer a program to build a core set of skills and tools for first level leaders in our company. Many of our first time supervisors have come from a background of science or engineering and while intelligent in their field, they lacked foundational competencies in leading people. St. Thomas was very flexible and did a great job customizing the course content to fit our specific needs. The instructors were personable and highly competent in delivering the course at our business locations. I'm happy to say we are about to offer this foundational program for the third time at our company."
