The National Initiative on Gender, Culture and Leadership in Medicine known as "C - Change" (for culture - change) engages medical schools in action research with Brandeis University to facilitate culture change so that all faculty members can contribute fully. C - Change has generated substantial qualitative and quantitative data on the culture of academic medicine.  These data have been used by the medical schools partnering in the C - Change Learning Action Network, and by additional schools, and have contributed to innovations and culture change initiatives to realize the potential of all faculty.

C - Change Phases of Work

• Qualitative interview study of faculty at five medical schools
• Quantitative national study of medical school faculty experiences and organizational culture: the C - Change Faculty Survey (CFS)
• Learning Action Network of five coalition medical schools
• Development and implementation of C - Change practices

This national action-research project is made possible by the generous support of the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation.
