Clinical Scholars Welcomes Cohort 2020-2023!

Home / News / Clinical Scholars Welcomes Cohort 2020-2023!

October 1, 2020

By Karl Whetzel

We would like to offer a warm welcome to the newest cohort of Clinical Scholars, 2020-2023!

These experienced health care providers are joining a national network of changemakers from all sectors, professions, and disciplines. As part of the program experience, they will learn with and from one another—each bringing forth their unique focus, experiences, and leadership styles as they work together to create equitable solutions for the complex health challenges in their communities.

These fellows have already accomplished remarkable things. As they begin the next chapter of their leadership journeys, we are excited to learn alongside them and work together to build a Culture of Health.
