Supporting Staff & Addressing Emerging Clinical Issues
NACHC’s Clinical Workforce portfolio invests in the development of highly skilled, adaptive, and mission-driven care teams that reflect communities served.
We offer workforce core competencies for integrated health center care teams to address the full range of emerging clinical issues with a commitment to evidence, equity, inclusion, and workforce wellness.
We provide: excellence in Clinical Executive Leadership (NACHC-EXCEL)
Care team members serving as health center leaders need progressive, evidence-based learning strategies to achieve ongoing clinical, operational, administrative, and organizational excellence.
The NACHC-EXCEL Program’s in-person courses, self-paced learning modules, and one-on-one coaching services empower clinical providers (physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, physician assistants, etc.) to reach their highest potential as responsive Clinical Leaders—especially during their first five years in a leadership position.
Each program begins with a competencies-based Self-Assessment to identify leadership skills and knowledge gaps, followed by targeted recommendations for free or low-cost professional development offerings (many with CEUs). Outstanding faculty and coaches—experienced Clinical Leaders themselves—provide expert personalized support.
