Training Opportunities
ACAP LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
ACAP’s Leadership Academy is a one-year program that uses an experiential learning process including in-person meetings, virtual meetings, and peer and executive leadership networking to inform and educate up-and-coming plan staff on important issues related to Medicaid managed care programs. Participants discuss key issues for Safety Net Health Plan operations such as the role of population health and SNHPs, how to maximize the impact of community plans, innovation in delivery systems, and the role of quality and data in improving outcomes.
Participants will earn an ACAP Certificate of Emerging Leadership.
About the 2024 Leadership Academy cohort: 28 plan staff representing 22 ACAP member plans participated in ACAP’s 2024 Leadership Academy. They represented a variety of organizational/functional areas including Public/Government Affairs, Marketing/Communications, Finance, IT/Data Analytics, Clinical, Housing/SDOH, Behavioral Health, Health Plan Operations, and Regulatory/Compliance.

PHYSICIAN LEADERSHIP ACCELERATOR BY GOOD LEADERSHIP
The demands of healthcare leadership have changed significantly because of consolidation and value-based care. M&A activity has turned healthcare into the business of medicine, with attorneys and finance professionals stepping into CEO roles. Today, the market demands something new: effective leadership means both clinical insight and patient care expertise.
The problem: medical schools don’t prepare physicians for this level of leadership.
Building a clinically sound practice that’s also a successful business is a challenge many physicians are not prepared for. The Physician Leadership Accelerator is aiming to change that for early-mid career physicians who are interested in leadership positions. The program is an effective, faster alternative to the large university-based business and leadership programs, but more in-depth and personal than the weekend seminar. The format is a 10-month cohort-based leadership development model with 1:1 executive coaching, virtual workshops, and 2 in-person retreats covering topics in business, clinical, personal, and organization leadership.
The current cohorts kick-off in August 2025, and there is availability for physicians on your team to be involved – and if ACAP members enroll 6 physicians, Good Leadership will create a cohort specifically for them.

EXECUTIVE MEDIA TRAINING
As a service to ACAP-member plans, its senior staff can access discounted, personalized media training which will help plan leaders and other media-facing staff the opportunity to learn best practices in speaking with both broadcast and print media. Training sessions last a morning or afternoon, scheduled at a time that works with your schedule.
- CEO Training involves a three-hour, 1-on-1 session with the CEO (or other plan leader). A 90-minute training presentation is followed by 90 minutes of practice interviews and critiques. The CEO receives a written memo with recommendations.
- Small Group Training: One four-hour session for up to five senior executives of a leadership plan. A 90-minute training presentation is followed by a series of 1-on-1 interviews with each senior executive. The group as a whole will watch each interview and critique; each executive will receive a memo with recommendations.
