The Pharmacy Leadership & Education Institute (PLEI)…

Develops

Our in-person and virtual programs are designed as LEADER development programs, rather than casual leadership programs. We strive to develop lifelong servant leaders who will advance the pharmacy profession and society. PLEI conducts leader-development programs ranging from a few hours to 5-day immersion programs.

PLEI’s customized leader training has helped many thousands of leaders since our first program in 1989. We deliver engaging and interactive experiences for diverse audiences of practicing pharmacists, student pharmacists, and pharmacy stakeholders. By fostering self-awareness, providing insights, trading ideas, offering tools, and sharing concepts our training programs will bring out the leader in you.

The workbook helps on-campus educators facilitate active learning communities through many of the leadership field’s most respected principles. See the Lead<-Grow->Shape page for details.
