The NEAL Program is a one-year advanced leadership development program offered by the Centre for Faculty Development (CFD). In the NEAL program, the group builds a learning community through three intensive one-week modules over the year, themed as Foundations, Influence and Adaptation. In these modules, interdisciplinary faculty share resources and build capacity for reflective and relational practice, system thinking, influence and impact, and leading from adaptive purpose. Between modules, participants deepen their learning with coaching, peer connections, diverse assignments and leading a capstone project through engaging others. The program is intentionally shaped to bring together a diverse set of participant leaders to consider how we all need to work collaboratively in shaping and shifting our broader system for positive health outcomes. Learners may have a formal role as a leader, or may be an influencer or change agent with a meaningful purpose. NEAL is a Canadian Society of Physician Leaders-approved leadership CPD activity required as part of the Academic Route for the Canadian Certified Physician Executive (CCPE) designation.
