Purpose

The purpose of
this assignment is to develop a SMART-formatted goal related to your
professional leadership applicable to your current practice setting or future
leadership aspirations. This goal is about YOUR leadership development, not
those of the organization or the department where you work.  Many organizations have developed the
SMART-goal framework as they strive for performance improvement.  Your goal may tie to one of the departmental
or organizational SMART goals but the components of the goal are about YOUR
leadership development The Institute of Medicine? quality initiative has
identified five core healthcare profession competencies. This assignment
focuses on only two of those initiatives. Either Patient-Centered Care or Working in Interdisciplinary
and/or Interprofessional Teams will serve as a framework for identification of
YOUR leadership SMART goal.

Institute of Medicine? (IOM) core healthcare competencies. Select ONE of the
competencies that you will work on for developing a Leadership SMART Goal.  You are to select one of the following
competencies for YOUR SMART goal.
