College Members in the EXTRA Program

The Executive Training for Research Application (EXTRA) is a fellowship program designed to train health services leaders to become better decision-makers by learning how to find, assess, and interpret researchbased evidence. The target audience for the EXTRA program is midcareer nurse, physician and other health service executives currently in senior leadership and management positions. The program has five core components: 1) four away-from-home residency sessions; 2) one or several “intervention” projects at the home organization, proposed when the fellow applies to the program; 3) educational activities between residency sessions; 4) network-building opportunities between faculty and other fellows throughout the program; and 5) support and activities after the program wraps up. This is what some of our College members have to say about the program.
