      ab: Students need to develop and apply project management skills to effectively organize and execute their academic and future professional work. Although a significant amount of administrative work in healthcare is based on project principles, surprisingly, few health administrators have received formal instruction in project management. While full courses in project management may not be feasible given the need to meet other program competencies, applied modular instruction could provide students with a grounding in specific project management concepts and approaches. Modules may allow greater didactic flexibility to accommodate changes in the field, as has occurred in project management. Currently, three project management approaches are utilized in practice: Waterfall (Predictive), Agile, and Hybrid. While Waterfall has been the dominant approach for many years, the use of Agile has rapidly expanded and greater use of Agile or Hybrid approaches are now being adopted in the healthcare industry. To address changing project management practice and the need to provide students with project management training, we developed a 2-week learning module using a case-based approach to build students’ knowledge and application of Agile project management.
