The NCMS offers 2 healthcare leadership programs:

The NCMS Academy for Advanced Healthcare Leaders is an 8-month, project-based leadership development program tailored for practicing physicians, PAs, medical residents, and healthcare administrators.

The program focuses on enhancing leadership abilities by fostering meaningful connections, improving team dynamics, and driving change through individual initiatives.

Participants work on projects of interest using their leadership abilities to prepare for leadership roles within their workplace environments, local medical societies, specialty associations, and NCMS.

The NCMS Academy for Executive Healthcare Leaders is a 9-month leadership development program designed to prepare healthcare leaders for executive-level roles within their organization, professional community, and beyond.

The program pairs a deeper understanding and awareness of one’s leadership abilities—gained through a comprehensive 360° leadership assessment and a personalized 1:1 executive coaching session—with an individual experiential change initiative project.

Research shows that the long-term benefits of leadership development programs are immeasurable

Each program provides a unique leadership journey that is tailored to meet the needs of healthcare professionals at various stages in their careers. Ideally, we encourage newer/mid-career leaders and residents to enroll in the NCMS Academy for Advanced Healthcare Leaders (AHL) and more senior level healthcare clinicians and administrators to enroll in the NCMS Academy for Executive Healthcare Leaders (EHL). Both programs offer a distinctive curriculum that can support the leadership needs of healthcare professionals.
