Center for Clinician Advancement

As one of the largest employers of clinicians in the United States, UnitedHealth Group recognizes the critical role of clinicians in the health care system.

 

The Center for Clinician Advancement (CFCA) helps clinicians successfully navigate the demands of a swiftly evolving profession so they can become leaders in their areas of expertise and emerge as innovators in new areas of care delivery.

The CFCA energizes clinicians for an expanding role in solving some of the most pressing health care problems of today and tomorrow, preparing them to tackle the challenges of a health care system in transition and help shape the future of the industry.

About the Center

In 2008, UnitedHealth Group launched the Center for Nursing Advancement to promote the development of nurse leaders with strong clinical skills and sharp business acumen to help drive systemic improvement in health care. To support even more UnitedHealth Group clinical professionals, the expanded Center for Clinician Advancement was launched in 2015.

Today, the Center serves more than 45,000 licensed clinicians in all 50 states and seven countries around the world.
