Nurse Leadership Program
The Nurse Leadership Program provides high-quality, standardized leadership training to nurse leaders across the state.
About the program
AzHHA is working with a national curriculum vendor, OpusVi (Latin for workforce), to deliver a program that delivers a standardized approach to strengthen nurse leadership. Through the program, participants have access to a Certificate in Nurse Leadership, a 12-week, online program developed in partnership with leading health systems and grounded in real-world practice. This structured learning environment provides a shared framework for leadership development, mentorship and professional growth at every level of nursing leadership.

- Structured, yet flexible: Involves approximately a three-to-five-hour weekly time commitment.
- Centralized leadership model: Supports consistent decision-making and communication across the organization.
- Competency-based curriculum: Covers emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, communication strategies, financial acumen and operational decision-making.
- Real-world application: Includes interactive case studies, guided reflection and opportunities to apply learnings directly to participants’ roles.
- Scalable and collaborative: Fosters a consistent and adaptable leadership style that drives collaboration, accountability and workforce engagement.
