Adult Programs
The Community Outreach & Leadership Track (COLT) is a program for PGY1 and PGY2 Geisinger residents in training in Internal Medicine, Med-Peds, Pediatrics, and Emergency Medicine. The goal of the program is to create physician community leaders who are actively engaged in Danville and the surrounding communities. Specifically, the program helps participants understand the value of community leadership and exposes them to new elements of the community, and community service. Through professional development programming built into the course, also assists them in developing organizational leadership competencies such as engagement through trust, listening and emotional intelligence, and coaching and leading change.
Established in 1992, LCP (our flagship) is a nine-month program designed to identify, educate, involve, and motivate a select group of area citizens for positions of leadership. Its goals are to seek individuals from a broad range of geographical, institutional, and economic backgrounds with an interest in and ability for assuming effective leadership roles in their work and communities.
This foundational skills program is currently offered to those out of work looking to enter the workforce or improve their work situation. We have partnered with the Gatehouse and local employers to offer this certificate to help connect real people with life-sustaining wage jobs that are in-demand.
