Publisher's Synopsis
This book is full of inspiration. Equity-centered leadership training is a powerful tool to address pressing health challenges in local communities. The Clinical Scholars program tackled challenging health issues across the U.S. by fostering collaboration between healthcare experts and their communities. Passionate and determined interprofessional healthcare teams received in-depth training to innovate and magnify their impact despite both entrenched and emerging obstacles. Ultimately, the program touched nearly one million lives and generated significant funding and partnerships to benefit local communities. This book details how Clinical Scholars' training approach enabled teams to achieve the impossible: successful, sustainable, and scalable solutions to 'Wicked Problems" in the U.S. Thirteen case examples illustrate how small interprofessional healthcare teams employed sophisticated equity-centered leadership skills to transform their communities, offering replicable solutions nationwide.
