The EDDA (Emergency Department Directors Academy) program offers a comprehensive suite of leadership courses tailored to emergency department leaders at all levels.

Each course is designed as a standalone learning experience, empowering participants to customize their journey based on their leadership goals. Together, these courses provide the essential skills, strategies, and advanced tools needed to excel in today’s dynamic emergency medicine landscape.

Course Options:

  1. Leadership Essentials (previously phase I)
    Build the foundation of effective ED leadership. Designed to empower leaders with key skills in managing finances, setting strategic goals, and enhancing department quality, this course covers the essentials for confidently navigating the responsibilities of an ED leader.

  2. Team Strategies and Applied Management (previously phase II)
    Focus on team-based leadership strategies for optimizing your department’s daily operations and morale. This course provides practical tools for creating a cohesive, efficient team environment that supports both staff and patient care.

  3. Small Group Masterclass (previously phase III) (Prerequisite: Attendance at either Leadership Essentials or Team Strategies and Applied Management)
    An advanced, hands-on workshop for those ready to dive deeper. Participants collaborate in small groups to tackle complex scenarios, enhance strategic thinking, and refine their approach to real-world ED challenges.

How to Participate:

  • Start with Leadership Essentials or Team Strategies and Applied Management. These courses can be taken in any order and are designed as stand-alone options for new or seasoned leaders.

With these flexible course options, EDDA equips you with practical, real-world tools to drive positive change, enhance team performance, and lead with confidence in emergency medicine.

  • I enjoyed the intensive experience and the camaraderie gained through interaction with other medical director/assistants.

  • I valued the wealth of information, wonderful, helpful faculty, and the ability to network with others around the country.

  • Content was excellent - plus the fact that it encourages medical and nursing departments to work together as a team - together we can achieve so much more!

  • Well coordinated and facilitated. Great opportunity for Medical and Clinical Directors to attend together, and to discuss and learn from others.
