From “Learn the Skills” to “Learn from Each Other”

Welcome back, dear colleague!

When we started, we thought the Courageous Clinicians Community was a place where we would teach. What began as a place to build skills has become something bigger: a community where clinicians teach, support, and mobilize together.
In last week’s huddle, we explored:

• Purpose, clarified. Our purpose is to run a community of courageous clinicians and public health leaders who are willing to step beyond the clinic into policy, community, and public life.

• Live, relational spaces > one-off content. Members are choosing huddles, workshops, and Courageous Conversations, because relationships matter and move people.

• Peer-led learning is the engine. Member-created offerings (from practice teams to peer workshops and webinars) are becoming core to how we teach each other.

• Collaborative governance. We’re launching an advisory committee to help steer priorities, programming, and community norms over the next 12–24 months.

• What’s rising. More collaboration, shared learning, empowerment & trust, and safer spaces for hard topics.

Why this matters: Clinicians don’t just need tools; we need each other. If you’ve been looking for a place to learn, act, and breathe with peers who care as much as you do, this is your on-ramp.
