Strengthening healthcare providers' leadership capabilities, interprofessional collaboration, and systems thinking: a conceptualization of the Clinical Scholars program impact.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Healthcare provider leadership programs represent an intervention opportunity to support advancement of the national system of care and an evaluation of their program impacts is needed.
