Ascend Faculty and Navigators
The leadership navigator serves as the small group's resource, catalyst, and facilitator during Ascend. Navigators will work with a small group of up to eight participants throughout the 2-day program. Because navigators have considerable interaction with the participants, it is one of the most critical roles on the faculty team during the AAHPM Leadership Forum. Specific roles include:
- modeling leadership behavior,
- guiding group discussions by using scenarios to translate program content to a practical, transferrable context for the learners for immediate applicability to their own unique roles and practice settings, and
- challenging thinking and encouraging reflection and feedback.
