Executive Leadership Program
Each year, the ELP and the ELP-MD programs are filled with health insurance
plans' most dynamic senior-level professionals—those with a proven edge,
superior skills, and an aptitude for interpreting and mastering new directions
for health insurance. The programs’ combination of mentoring, classroom
sessions, and site visits focus on strategic management and techniques needed to
lead tomorrow’s health insurance plans.
The curricula is developed by professionals working in the health insurance
community, making these programs superior to other, more general education
programs. They promote an environment where rising executives engage in
meaningful dialogue with one another about the important task of leadership in
health care.
Upon completion of the program, Fellows are recognized with the Certified
Healthcare Insurance Executive (CHIE) designation—an endorsement of quality,
comprehensive continuing education, and professional development. Recognized
throughout the health insurance plan community, over 700 health care executives
and medical directors hold this distinguished designation.
Forming Alliances with Strategic Partners
AHIP continues
its academic partnership with Northwestern University’s prestigious Kellogg
School of Management. Fellows are inspired by practical theories and sound
management strategies for the rapidly changing health care system. ELP and
ELP-MD Fellows are awarded Certificates of Professional Achievement from the
Kellogg School of Management after successful completion of a full week for the
fall academic session at the Kellogg School.
Candidate Profile
Health insurance plans are encouraged
to sponsor senior-level individuals who demonstrate a high level of
professionalism, excellent performance in their current position, and an
unwavering commitment to the health insurance community and their sponsoring
organization(s). ELP and ELP-MD candidates must be fully vested in their
development and dedicated to improving their leadership and management skills.
Once a candidate is accepted into the program as a Fellow, they are responsible
for determining their goals and objectives for the year, initiating
relationships with their Primary Mentor, and balancing their work and program
responsibilities.
