Learning Collaboratives Index

The AMA STEPS Forward® Learning Collaboratives, part of the AMA STEPS Forward Innovation Academy, will help your organization improve in important areas of practice, including workflow, teamwork and clinician well-being. Our physician leaders, drawing from dozens of evidence-based STEPS Forward resources, offer guided facilitation and expert solutions to advance your practice.

Through shared experience in a group learning environment, the collaboratives will help you and your team implement best practices, improve efficiencies and put the joy back into medicine. Each learning collaborative involves four-to-ten physician-facilitated web sessions and a six-to-twelve-month participant commitment to executing system-level changes and measuring their effectiveness. Please refer to the application page for the learning collaborative you are interested in for specific information about program duration.

The learning collaboratives will convene dyads or triads of leadership representatives from multiple organizations to engage in a longitudinal shared learning experience.

During the program, participants will embark on a system-level change guided by our AMA experts and resources, and participants will be accountable for their own progress, communication and completion. By sharing successes and failures with others in the collaborative, participants can learn, iterate and improve their own efforts.
