Developing Change Leaders

Clinical Scholars Fellows include pharmacists, physical therapists, veterinarians, dentists, social workers, nurses, physicians, and many others working in various settings. Through mentoring, networking, and an intensive leadership curriculum centered on equity, they deepen their influence and impact as leaders with the power to transform their workplaces and communities.

Today’s health challenges are influenced by factors well beyond the clinic walls.

Building a Culture of Health in the U.S. will take bold leadership from every clinical discipline.
