Primary Care Leadership Training Program

Working from its belief that leadership training should be a conscious, active process, The AMSA Foundation developed the Primary Care Leadership Training Program in order to train students to be future leaders in primary care.

Hosted each year by a different medical or dental school, the Primary Care Leadership Training Program is a weeklong innovative institute educating students about important issues in primary care, helping future primary care providers develop leadership skills, and engaging students in curricular reform and health policy issues.  In addition to specific theme-related sessions, there are sessions on:

• Health care disparities
• Advocacy/health policy
• Leadership skills
• Interdisciplinary work
• Communication skills
• Mentoring
• Professional ethics
• Careers in health

Now in its 14th year, the Primary Care Leadership Training Program has educated over 250 future leaders in health care.  Information about the upcoming Primary Care Leadership Training can be found here.
