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) is 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.  A core activity of the project is the Learning Action Network that links the five C - Change medical schools to one another and engages them in a group process to drive change.  The Learning Action Network, in its collaborative multi-site structure, embodies the group process required to implement real and effective change in medical schools.  It models the experience and the power of facilitated collaborative learning. 

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