"A leader is an individual who has an inspiring vision
and can get others to buy into it." Laurence Smith

Vision
By defining the future of healthcare through innovative managed care nursing leadership the Institute promotes proactive executive nursing leadership by providing professional development, skills, tools and support for its members.

 Mission
Our mission is to provide nurses with the skills, knowledge, and tools required to be a vital part of the changing healthcare environment as active leaders. The leadership skills developed will make the healthcare environment more effective and efficient for all participants (patients, nurses, physicians, legislators). In addition to providing the skills, the Institute will complete the knowledge gap through mentoring and coordinating career and leadership opportunities for nurses.

Do  you fit the definition of “Leader” and “Leadership”? All schools teach management skills, but not all courses are designed and taught by experts in managed care nursing. The AAMCN Managed Care Nursing Leadership Institute was developed by experts in managed care. This Institute will provide the knowledge and tools achieved from the experience of leaders in managed care.
