Culture Building: Emerging From COVID-19 With Excellence and Community

Clinic Synopsis:

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced programs to spend the majority of the last year and a half apart from one another. As a result, the sense of community and culture of many programs has withered. As we emerge from the pandemic, now is the time to invest and rebuild or reimagine your culture. We will explore timeless fundamentals of culture building, look at examples of great cultures, and ways to build your own culture of excellence post-COVID.
