NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTHCARE

The leadership excellence networks (lens) is an institutional membership group for leading healthcare organizations that recognize that leadership development and talent management programs are integral to their strategic goals.

The national council on administrative fellowships (ncaf) is leading the way across the country to build the bridge between practice and academia. It is made up of fellowship sites and graduate health management programs that are working together to continuously improve early-career development opportunities for our next generation healthcare leaders. Ncaf creates an industry standard in the recruitment for administrative fellows. In doing so, ncaf allows for a uniform and coordinated recruitment process, helps organizations access a national pipeline of the next generation of healthcare industry leaders, and brings fellowship sites and graduate health management programs together to share ideas and best practices.

In 2024, nchl's research team conducted benchmarking surveys and subsequent reporting across nchl's membership programs.
