2021 CHAMPS Virtual CORE Competencies for Health Center Supervisors and Managers Training

Date/Time/Location: Five online sessions, held every Thursday in April 2021 from 9:00-11:30AM MT / 10:00AM-12:30PM CT.

Lead Trainer: Lisa Mouscher, CEO and Lead Consultant at Sogence Training and Consulting.

Event Overview: Managers and supervisors play a pivotal role in the success of the health center, yet many are hired or promoted into their roles without the core skills to effectively hire, train, manage, engage, retain, and develop others. This course, specifically designed for supervisors and managers at community, migrant, and homeless health centers, offers intensive, hands-on, and immediately applicable skill-building to successfully navigate management and supervisory roles in the fast-paced and often challenging health center environment. Don’t miss this opportunity to ensure you have the nuts-and-bolts knowledge, skills, and strategies to be successful in your management role.

Topics:

  • The History, Mission, and Impact of the Health Center Movement
  • The Art of Management Communication
  • Strengthening Employee Engagement, Productivity, and Retention
  • Behavioral Interviewing
  • Staying Legally Compliant as a Manager/Supervisor
  • Making Customer Service a Reality

Course Components: In order to optimize learning and promote public health, all components of this course will be held virtually, involving both independent and group learning and networking opportunities. Attendees will:

  • Receive a brief pre-recorded introductory session about the Community Health Center Movement.

  • Important Technical Requirements: Each participant will need a webcam to join the training. This highly interactive program is conducted through Zoom video conferencing, and all participants must join on video (one participant per device) in order to participate. If access to a computer with a webcam is not available, Zoom has an excellent app that enables participants to join via most phones or tablets that have video capability. This helps us achieve a true face-to-face environment during this virtual training!
