The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) and the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers (Mass League) are proud to co-sponsor the Managing Ambulatory Health Care II (MAHC II) training. This intensive four-day program was designed specifically for health center clinicians (physicians, dentists, behavioral health specialists, etc.) who have undertaken significant managerial responsibilities, yet are unable to take time away from the organization to complete a degree program in public health or health administration. MAHC II was developed as a follow up program to MAHC I but is appropriate for any Clinical Leader, especially those with some experience in the leadership role and/or prior management training.

This educational opportunity was developed and will be taught by Paul Campbell, MPA, ScD, and Robert Hoch, MD, MPH, who, along with other Harvard faculty, will facilitate using the Harvard case method of instruction to facilitate the course. This method of instruction employs practical application of the concepts presented and presents a dynamic forum for the exchange of ideas, issues, and challenges between participants and faculty. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to network and tap the collective experience of clinicians from across the country dealing with exactly the same challenges as you.
