Our Approach to Leadership Training

Skillful leadership is a driving force for change. Healthforce Center prepares health care leaders for the challenges they face through dynamic, evidence-based, and experiential training. Individually and collectively, these leaders are transforming health care in California. Health care leaders run the gamut and include early career managers, nurses, physicians, behavioral health workers, CEOs and more from community clinics, health plans, hospitals and other settings.

Leaders in health care who have completed experiential, industry-specific leadership training programs are better equipped to drive progress in their organizations and throughout the health care system. Informed leaders can help shape the future of health care. Over 70% of Healthforce Center's Clinic Leadership Institute alumni advanced to a more senior role within a year of graduation. Half of these moved into executive leadership positions.

Our experienced management team is nationally recognized for its knowledge of the health care environment, research landscape, and leadership training in both the public and private sectors. At Healthforce Center, we have assembled a broad team of researchers and leadership experts with a diversity of perspectives and experiences to provide the research and training solutions you need.

We believe leadership development is a process of individual discovery and transformation, and our approach reflects this. Our programs accelerate this process through a leadership model centered around four key areas — purpose, process, personal, and people.
