The Nurse Executive Leadership Academy is an initiative for senior or newly appointed executive level nurse leaders. Three multi-day immersion experiences, executive coaching and project-based learning will provide participants with the knowledge, skills and awareness to effectively lead large and complex health care organizations, facilitate and manage systematic change, embody executive presence, and engage in policymaking activities to advance health care locally, regionally and nationally. National leaders in health care administration, policy and patient care will serve as instructors for this program, and aid the development of the participants in:

• Deepening their understanding of personal leadership abilities and in the development of a plan to enhance the leadership abilities of others within their organization
• Acquiring the skills required to embody executive presence, in addition to facilitate and manage systematic change
• Gaining the knowledge necessary to engage in and advance local, state and federal policymaking, academic and workforce planning, as well as to lead succession and strategic planning efforts
• Fostering an organizational culture that allows for successful systems change and quality improvement efforts, leading to equitable systems at all levels

The program will be presented in partnership with UCSF Schoolf of Nursing and will begin in October 2025 and conclude in February 2026.
