About Program

The Georgia Primary Care Association (GPCA), in partnership with the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) and Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), is developing a dynamic educational program focused on strengthening the leadership skills of new and emerging clinical directors. Designed for health center clinical directors, leaders, and rising managers, the program offers a strong foundation for long-term professional growth and success.

On June 5 (Day 1), NACHC will lead an all-day program designed to help participants explore a range of leadership styles and gain practical tools to foster collaboration and accountability in clinical settings. Grounded in participants’ real-world experiences, the sessions will focus on building cohesive teams and identifying individual leadership strengths that support positive change in patient care.

On June 6 (Day 2), our half-day sessions feature expert-led, practice-focused education that highlights Morehouse School of Medicine’s leadership in community-focused, equity-driven care. This program is designed for primary care physicians, clinical leaders, and FQHC executives seeking practical strategies to improve outcomes, strengthen workforce development, and advance health equity.

Participants will explore evidence-based, community-driven models of care; leadership approaches that support sustainable clinical practice; and academic–community partnerships that enhance population health impact. Sessions emphasize real-world application, case-based learning, and scalable solutions for community and safety-net settings.
