MGPO & BWPO Healthcare Leadership Program (HCLP) 2025-2026
This activity is accessible by invitation only.
Now in its second year, the Healthcare Leadership Program (HCLP) builds on the success of its inaugural cohort, which was met with exceptional enthusiasm and strong evaluations. Jointly developed by the Massachusetts General Physicians Organization (MGPO) and the Brigham & Women's Physicians Organization (BWPO), the program represents a strategic integration of two legacy leadership initiatives. This collaborative effort aims to develop the next generation of leaders across the Mass General Brigham system. The HCLP is designed to equip physicians and non-physician leaders with the skills necessary to navigate increasing complexity within academic medical centers. The curriculum emphasizes core competencies in organizational leadership, operations and financial management, and strategic thinking - grounded in the real-world challenges of healthcare delivery. It serves physicians, advanced practice providers, nursing, research faculty, and senior administrators from across BWH and MGH. The program covers a broad array of topics, including systems-based leadership, financial strategy, quality & safety, and health system innovation. IN addition to strengthening individual capabilities, the HCLP seeks to build institutional capacity - cultivating a prepared, agile, and collaborative network of leaders equipped to advance the mission of Mass General Brigham.
