The MCI Resident Leadership Academy is a learning series co-created by residents and organizations to provide residents the skills and confidence to grow as leaders within their families and in the community at large. The ultimate goal is to have these residents move into positions of influence with decision-making power in order to create change in the community.

The lessons will cover the following themes:

  • Creating community change
  • Built environment
  • Social justice/injustice
  • Personal health & healthcare
  • Improving, measuring, and sharing health
  • Collecting, analyzing, sharing, and using data

MCI Networks’ counterpart team, Network Anaheim, completed a pilot run of this curriculum in June 2022 with participants in the Ponderosa neighborhood. We plan on learning from the lessons learned in order to bring this back to the MCI catchment and launch a Los Angeles cohort.
