Welcome to a new year of learning and development at Methodist Health System! The Organizational
Effectiveness department is pleased to provide the 2019 training course catalog in a new, interactive eBook
that is also a printable document. Inside, you will find over 100 professional development opportunities to
help you and your team sharpen your skills and optimize business operations. We invite you to browse the
catalog, review the course descriptions, and create a learning plan specific to your needs and learning
objectives.

Your Schedule. Your Pace. Your Place. Our online courses offer you the flexibility to learn at your own pace
from any location with internet access; 24/7/365. In addition to our standard e-learning courses, we are
excited to provide 73 Microcourses as part of our training selections. Microcourses are narrated, “YouTube-
like” videos or e-learning modules that range from 7 to 20 minutes each, delivered in “short bursts” of
targeted information.

Instructor-led Training – The Original Social Network. Being social and learning collaboratively was
popularized long before technology birthed everything social: Social media, social networking, social learning,
etc. Face-to-face training led by a live instructor is still the gold standard for learning and development. This
year we will offer instructor-led training in classrooms, over the internet in a virtual classroom and in
business simulation labs.

Looking for a More Structured Approach? If you want a comprehensive plan to support your training and
development, check out the Sample Annual Learning Plans available in this year’s catalog. These plans are an
example of how you can create your own blended learning experience with a mix of the online and
classroom-based training courses listed in this catalog.
