Research Interests
Evidence-Based Practice in Global Healthcare Leadership
This study examines the inclusion of evidence-based practice competencies in postgraduate programmes designed to train non-clinical executive leaders in global healthcare. Through a detailed analysis of programme content, the novel research provides insight into the necessity for curricula that integrate theoretical knowledge with practical strategies as an interdisciplinary approach to global leadership, global healthcare, and evidence-based practice, thereby preparing non-clinical executives to navigate and influence the global healthcare landscape with greater efficacy. This dissertation research project for the MSc in Global Healthcare Leadership is titled Advancing Global Healthcare Leadership: Enhancing Evidence-Based Practice Competencies in Postgraduate Programmes for Non-Clinical Executives. The initial research findings will be presented at the Global Evidence Summit on September 13, 2024, in Prague, Czech Republic.
Healthcare Leadership in LMICs
My research is centred on developing and enhancing healthcare leadership competencies in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), with a particular focus on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), through the application of the Adaptive Strategy Theory™. This theory evaluates how leaders respond to urgent (U) and persistent (P) risks, utilise opportunities (O), and pursue determined objectives (G), all within the context of their leadership competencies. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of these factors, the purpose is to develop and refine leadership dexterities that are adaptable and effective in addressing the strategic requirements and constraints of LMIC healthcare systems. The Protestant University in Congo Faculty of Medicine and Harbinger Institute are aligned to facilitate this research.
