PURPOSE: To describe the development and implementation of an innovative elective course that integrated Master of Science in Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (MS-HSPAL) students into pharmacy planning and activation activities associated with a major hospital expansion, and to highlight considerations for health systems seeking to leverage learners during large-scale organizational initiatives.
SUMMARY: Large-scale health system projects require substantial planning, coordination, and leadership resources, yet also present unique experiential learning opportunities. In preparation for opening a new hospital tower, an 8-week elective course was developed that incorporated MS-HSPAL and Master of Healthcare Administration students into operational workstreams supporting hospital activation. Through structured project assignments, preceptor oversight, participation in leadership meetings, and involvement in go-live, students contributed to workflow redesign, communication planning, automation readiness, operational support, and patient move activities. Learner participation expanded project capacity during a resource-intensive time while providing meaningful leadership development. Key elements supporting success included strong leadership engagement, clearly defined student responsibilities, and alignment of educational and organizational goals.
CONCLUSIONS: This elective experience demonstrated how a structured learning model can integrate learners into a healthcare megaproject. Participation in real-world planning and activation activities allowed students to further develop leadership, project management, and operational competencies that are difficult to replicate in a traditional classroom or rotation-based environment. Given the learning benefits observed, health systems undergoing expansion or other large-scale transformation should consider incorporating learners into these initiatives as a strategy to enhance project capacity while preparing future healthcare leaders.
