Admission and
Application Process

Participants in the Clinical Leadership Program come from diverse clinical backgrounds.

Admission decisions are based upon a candidate's academic qualifications combined with their professional experience. The Admissions Committee reviews complete applications three times per year. To be considered for admission to the summer semester, candidates must have all application materials submitted by March 1st. To be considered for admission to the fall semester, candidates must have all application materials submitted by August 15th. To be considered for admission to the spring semester candidates must have all application materials submitted by November 14th.

Consideration may be given to individuals who wish to enroll in a course without being admitted to the Program.

Prerequisites for Admission

A bachelor's degree (or the equivalent) in a clinical discipline from an accredited institution is a prerequisite for admission. Many participants will have advanced degrees.

Preliminary Application Process

Preliminary Application may be submitted to begin the admission process. Along with the pre-application, an informal personal interview is usually scheduled with the Program Director to explore an individual's candidacy before pursuing the formal admission process.

"The classes and seminars are led by leaders in the health care industry involved in forecasting, planning, and implementing plans on the national, state and local level. The program prepares health care administrators to identify the continuum of care issues that many times begin and end in the community but are intertwined in the complex
health system."
