Join the community of courageous clinicians and public health leaders stepping beyond the clinic into policy, community, and
public life
.

In just a year, you’ll go from wondering if your voice matters to being a leader who gathered 30 colleagues together, mentored three new leaders, and worked on challenges that made life healthier and safer for your patients and community.

What if we act as if we love the future of healthcare?

Our Shared Community Principles

Our Community is guided by this set of principles:

People Over Posture

We prioritize real solutions for real people over actions that simply make us look good or righteous. Advocacy should focus on tangible change that improves lives, not just symbolic gestures.

Simple Practices

We practice commonsense community organizing that is easy to understand and implement. If a concept is overly complex and disconnected from the realities of everyday clinicians and people, we leave it for others and focus on what works for the communities we serve.

Empathy
First 

When faced with a choice, we always stand by the people involved, even above the cause itself. We embrace the complexity of human journeys, listen to what people feel, and resist the urge to dictate how they should think or act. Our practice is rooted in compassion and inclusion.

Testimonials

“Courageous Clinicians is a refreshing space where the focus is not on credentials or titles, but rather the interconnectedness of working alongside each other as complex humans to promote health equity and justice.”

Alicia Truelove

Nurse

“I definitely appreciate having this connection to an active, change-oriented medical community. The regular meetings and variety of topics means I frequently get to log in for a discussion filled with people from all over the world. Even when I don't have a chance to attend a live discussion, knowing that group is meeting and reading what members of this passionate community are working on is emotionally energizing. Thanks so much for helping make all of that possible.”

Seneca Harberger

Family Doctor & Informaticist

“There aren’t a lot of spaces—especially right now, that everything is changing—where you can freely explore ideas like here. At the same time, it provides an opportunity to grow and create something that can benefit not just the community, but that also allows me to grow as a person.”

Ilan Shapiro

Physician

“Being part of the Courageous Clinician community has been quite transformative for me. This space feels human, safe, and deeply supportive. Here, we don't wait for external answers. We recognize our own agency, our opportunities, and our responsibility to shape better care together. Each person becomes a ripple making a real difference in the lives of patients and families through presence, person-centered care, and genuine compassion. ”

Rita Akiki

Nurse

“Being a part of this group has had an incredible impact on me. It has shed a wonderful light on my perspective of healthcare providers and leaders across the industry. I have seen so many compassionate individuals from all roles truly demonstrate how much they care, and it is refreshing to see the lengths to which they go to provide care and implement policies that better serve others.”

Belinda Cravalho

We’re all here for the right reasons and we are able to gain perspectives from people all over the world who know and love their communities.”
