Congratulations to Richard Duncan, MD, for successful completion of the 2019 Duke Clinical Leadership Program (DCLP, formerly C-CHAMP). In addition to graduating from the DCLP as a Fellow, Dr. Duncan and colleagues also were honored with the first Thomas Gorrie Clinical Leadership Impact Award, recognizing the most successful project team. Dr. Duncan's team project was “Optimizing Provider Experience in Maestro Care.”
The program was founded by the Chancellor for Health Affairs in 2010 to help expand leadership capacity within DukeHealth. The program provides faculty with an opportunity to deepen their awareness of healthcare operations and to develop relevant leadership skills. The DCLP is run by the School of Medicine Office for Faculty with the enthusiastic support of Chancellor Eugene Washington. Program Fellows are introduced to leaders from the Health System, School of Medicine, School of Nursing and Fuqua School of Business.
In addition to classwork, Fellows are assigned to group projects at the beginning of the program. The project portion of the curriculum is designed to focus on team development and effectiveness. Through the project work, Fellows have an opportunity to implement the skills they’ve learned in the classroom and to gain strategic insight into how to move a project through a highly matrixed system.
