Purpose: This session provides participants with an orientation to the overall program vision and goals. By basing the program in the challenges of today’s health care system for the low income and uninsured, and by asking participants: “who are you now; who do you want to be in the face of these challenges,” this session encourages participants to examine their assumptions about leadership. In this session they begin laying the groundwork of trust and respect for their unique community. This community will become a laboratory and support team to all of its members. The focus of this program is on helping those with leadership potential to take a step forward and increase their personal impact, their impact in their organization, and the impact of the organization on the health care system.

Learning Objectives: Through completion of this module participants will:

• Gain an understanding of the program’s purpose in addition to the challenges and opportunities facing future leaders serving the low income and uninsured.

• Develop an understanding for the types of personal growth this program will afford each of them.
