Legacy is committed to developing all aspects of our physicians, advanced practice providers, therapists and allied healthcare providers. This includes:
- Developing future clinical leaders
- Developing the technical skills of all clinicians, and offering additional enrichment for those who are interested
- Developing every clinician in a holistic way
This development is based on the foundation of our mission, vision and values and our core leadership competencies.

- Evolving/Novice Leaders: We commit to supporting new and developing leaders to reach their fullest potential. All novice and growing clinical leaders will be invited to participate in our leadership development curriculum at the 201 level.
- Executive Leaders: We commit to a culture of continuing to grow our leaders throughout their career. All executive clinical leaders will be invited to participate in our leadership development curriculum at the 301 level.
Developing the Technical Skills of Clinicians
- Continued Learning Series: Quarterly clinical training for all clinicians
- LIGHT: Leaders Inspiring Growth, Heart & Transformation is an after-hours enrichment program that focuses on several areas including clinical operations trainings, professional development, clinical guidelines updates, clinician-elected workgroups and pathway programs like Spanish acquisition.
- In-house CME: After-hours CME in collaboration with an academic institution
- CME Time & Dollars: Through benefits and total rewards our clinicians have CME funds and time away from clinic each year.
