Mid-Career Clinical Leadership Development Program
The MCCLDP is a year-long, professional development program that is designed to refine leadership skills for mid-career faculty. The program offers participants a concrete set of leadership skills that provide the foundation for success in common leadership positions at an academic health center. MCCLDP seeks to enhance an understanding of personal leadership styles, individual strengths and how these impact working on and leading teams. In addition, the program builds awareness of the resources and intricacies of working effectively within the OHSU system.
During the first half of the MCCLDP, participants will be matched with a senior leader at OHSU who will provide mentorship. During the summer months, participants and their mentors will complete mentor/mentee communication projects.
The program’s teaching faculty includes distinguished faculty from the Division of Management, the Career Workplace Enhancement Center, the Relational Leadership Institute and senior healthcare and School of Medicine leaders.
Classes meet once a month for three hours, and the program runs from January through December.
Classes for this program have returned to in-person.

The MCCLDP began in January 2020, with 20+ mid-career faculty from the departments of medicine, pediatrics, ophthalmology and anesthesia/perioperative medicine. Due to the success of this initial pilot year, the program opened to all mid-career clinical faculty in the school of medicine.
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. All classes are currently scheduled to be in-person.
There is no tuition cost for faculty from within the School of Medicine. Faculty from schools other than the School of Medicine are also encouraged to apply, and will be charged a tuition of $1500.
