The program is constantly evolving, and implementation commenced in 2007 of a second phase which includes a number of additional initiatives ? an Emerging Clinical Leaders Program, a Top 500 leaders Program, Conflict Resolution Program for Clinicians and a Clinical Network Chairs Leadership Program.
