Human Resources for Health leadership and management: Prototype curriculum for an executive short course: facilitator’s guide

Overview

This facilitator’s guide accompanies the prototype curriculum for an executive short course as part of a Human Resources for Health (HRH) curricula package intended to recognize, formalize and build a critical mass of leaders and managers in the much needed area of HRH. The courses address the leadership of HRH around the dynamics of the health labour market, and aim to develop competencies to strengthen leadership in HRH development in analysis, planning and management, with a particular emphasis on facilitating participatory leadership, policy dialogue, negotiation and consensus-building.

The guide is organized around the six units of facilitated learning for the prototype curriculum for an executive course, providing suggesting educational methods and learning activities, timetabling suggestions, group discussion questions, as well as suggestions for resources such as publicly available videos, readings or slides. It should be considered alongside the overview document, as well as the case studies and glossary of terms.
