As healthcare project complexity and delivery speed increases, gaps in experience, confidence, and cross-disciplinary understanding can introduce risk to project outcomes. This facilitated roundtable will explore how intentional, project embedded mentorship partnered with more formal programs can be used to develop healthcare leaders early, strengthen succession planning, and reduce burnout. Participants will discuss strategies for identifying potential, assigning responsibility incrementally, and creating safe stretch roles on live projects to allow emerging professionals to learn and grow without compromising project quality and delivery. The discussion will focus on mentorship in high-stress, fast-track healthcare environments, where redline-based teaching and reactive problem solving often falls short. Facilitators and attendees will share approaches to decision-based mentorship that help staff understand the "why" behind technical, operational, and design decisionsShow MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
