The role described has some prominent elements of operations management and program management.

Absolutely...this interview was conducted in 2013, so early stages!

Thomas and BTD Dude, thanks for sharing our videos! I recommend checking out our other career videos at www.gt20.org or our KZbin Channel. We also interviewed Justin Wiggins, a Project Manager for InVision.

As a nurse practitioner, would I be qualified to be a project manager?

[@GiveTeens20]

Great question, Celilia. It certainly puts you in a favorable position, as Ms. Foster did not have hands-on medical experience when she was hired into this role but, rather, a working knowledge. Project management, administrative and inter-personal skills are definitely priorities. Here is a link to high-level information...doesn't relate specifically to project management with Medical Department Chiefs at teaching hospitals but will give you broad information. onlineprograms.ollusa.edu/resources/article/what-does-it-take-healthcare-project-manager/
