Experimental Treatment
Active Control
The CU SOM leadership program is based on the Wellness-Centered Leadership framework and Mayo Clinic Leadership Index behaviors, using a Colleagues Meeting to Promote and Sustain Satisfaction (COMPASS)-style peer group model to build leadership skills and community. Leaders complete brief pre-work and on-the-job practice challenges delivered through an online dashboard, then participate in facilitated peer sessions to discuss implementation successes and barriers. Sessions are led by trained leader-facilitators, with researchers not present, and include structured agendas to support consistent implementation and skill development.
Leaders are waitlisted and participate in the CU Thrive Leadership Circles after the intervention group
