C-Change Learning Action Network

Most organizations and institutions run on a business model where meetings and gatherings focus on tasks, strategy, and planning-and rarely contend with questions of meaning and purpose.  The Learning Action Network (LAN) was designed to shift this framework and provide a safe and constructive structure for deepening the conversation and to engender transformative thinking about culture, diversity and organizational change in academic medicine. The Learning Action Network linked the C - Change medical schools to one another and engaged them in a group process to drive change.  The Learning Action Network, in its collaborative multi-site structure, embodied the group process required to implement real and effective change in medical schools.  It modeled the experience and the power of facilitated collaborative learning. 

Learning Action Network members were participants from each of the C - Change medical schools including the deans, other medical school leaders from different disciplines and some junior faculty members.  The membership composition was 55% women and 25% under-represented minority members.
