The Association of Clinicians for the Underserved (ACU) invites health center teams to participate in the Staff Wellness and Satisfaction Learning Collaborative which will run from March 2, 2021 through August 17, 2021. This 6-month learning collaborative will bring together 20 health center teams to learn and discuss the drivers of burnout and test new interventions to improve staff well-being and improve quality of care. This Learning Collaborative is part of a national effort supported by the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) at the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and in partnership with John Snow, Inc. (JSI). Each health center participating in the Learning Collaborative will receive a one-time payment of $2500. Learn more and submit an application.

Do you have a story to share about how COVID-19 is impacting clinicians or how health center leadership is supporting clinicians and staff during this pandemic? We want to hear from you! The first series of episodes which focused on Chief Workforce Officers in health centers are live on our site. 

We are thrilled to announce the release of our PCA Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Self-Assessment Tool! This web-based tool was designed to help PCA teams to asses the strengths and weaknesses in their TTA programming for health centers. The tool aligns with ACU's Core Components for a healthy health center workforce and provides space for reflection and recommendation. Review it with your team today!
