CME Course Focuses on Using Concept of Lean

A course offered by the University of Tennessee, Knoxville Center for Executive Education in the UT College of Business is certified for CME and CDE credits. 

Lean for Healthcare is a multi-day course offered March 26-30, August 6-10 and November 5-9, at the Haslam Business Building on the UTK campus. This course uses the concept of lean processes traditionally practiced in the manufacturing industry but applied now to improving efficiencies and eliminating waste in healthcare. Each Lean for Healthcare course is approved for 34.5 AMA and AGD credits.

The course is appropriate for healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists and others as well as healthcare executives and those who impact medical and financial decisions in an organization. 

For more information, visit Lean for Healthcare or contact the Center for Executive Education at 865-974-0460. 

Lean for Healthcare is jointly sponsored by the University of Tennessee College of Business Center for Executive Education and the UT Graduate School of Medicine, Knoxville.
