Thank you for your interest in the Certificate Program in Community Health Leadership (CHL). This program provides an opportunity for current and future community and migrant health center leaders to build the knowledge and skills needed for effective leadership and management.

Students are encouraged to develop, integrate, and apply a broad range of management and organizational skills and to develop the leadership competencies required for administrative career advancement. Experiential learning methods and "real world" problem-solving are emphasized throughout the program.

The CHL is offered through the collaborative efforts of the Northwest Regional Primary Care Association's Northwest Community Health Leadership Institute and the University of Washington (UW) Master of Health Administration (MHA) Program in conjunction with UW Professional & Continuing Education. It is available to members of the community and migrant health centers in federal regions VIII and X.
