Resident Leadership Academies (RLAs) are multi-week training programs for residents who want to learn how to improve their local communities. Training sessions focus on topics such as community leadership, social determinants of health, crime prevention and safety, land use and community planning, and healthy food systems. Residents learn skills and best practices to address the issues that most affect their communities, and they work alongside their neighbors to help improve quality of life where they live.

In this podcast style conversation, three behavioral health professionals will discuss emerging trends in value-based purchasing, specific VBP readiness milestones, and the strategies leaders can use to form fruitful relationships with payers and collaboratively invest in value.
