Change Initiative Project (CIP)
Starting in 2024, MCCLDP will include a learner project to be worked on throughout the course of the program.
Background and description
The Change Initiative Project (CIP) will be a key component of MCCLDP that supports your leadership development and that brings value to your division/department or the institution. The goal of the CIP is to enhance your leadership competencies and broaden your leadership capacity and visibility through work on an initiative that aligns with your experience, expertise and the mission area(s) in which you focus. The CIP should meet an organizational goal or need.
The CIP is an opportunity to:
- Deepen the knowledge and skills obtained during MCCLDP through application of learning to the CIP.
- Enhance your leadership competencies and gain institutional visibility.
- Receive feedback from your MCCLDP mentor, stakeholders and other expert consultants who will review and support your project.
- Provide value to your division, department and OHSU through a tangible project that addresses an identified need.
This program is designed for mid-career (Associate Professor) Clinical Faculty currently in, or moving into, formal leadership roles.
Participants should be able to commit to monthly, 3-hour classes.
