Clinic Leadership Institute (CLI) engages and prepares emerging leaders of California’s community clinics to be effective and passionate agents of change in today’s rapidly evolving healthcare environment. Our goal is to build the next generation of safety net providers and leaders.

Participants go through an 18-month, part-time program to build their skills in areas such as decision-making, financial management, and strategic planning. This unique and challenging program provides participants with career planning, seminars, professional coaching, and peer networking experiences.

Participants will become leaders in the community clinic field by:

• Learning in an academic setting through seminars designed for community clinics
• Receiving instruction from nationally renowned faculty and other leaders, including professional coaching
• Gaining access to a peer network and statewide clinic leaders
• Experiencing opportunities to apply new leadership skills in a real-world setting

Clinic Leadership Institute is a project of Blue Shield of California Foundation, a private foundation committed to making health care effective, safe, and accessible for all Californians, particularly underserved people, and to ending domestic violence.

The Institute’s program and course content is administered by the UCSF Center for the Health Professions, a nationally recognized resource on health workforce, organizational change, and leadership development and training.
