What Is Relational Leadership?
About Interprofessional Education
Interprofessional education occurs when two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. — World Health Organization (WHO, 2010).
About Relational Leadership
Relational Leadership (RL) is a human-centered approach to working with others that cultivates connection and awareness to increase belonging, collaboration, equity and impact across health systems.

“I wanted to let you know how grateful I am for the opportunity to attend RLI. I think about it every single day. I recently finished a stretch on inpatient Solid Oncology, and I used the RLI strategies nearly every hour with patients, families, nurses, PT/OT, SW, and our team. It had immediate impact on the quality of care my patients received.”
