The New England Rural Health Leadership Institute (RHLI) is designed to help aspiring leaders in public health and primary care strengthen their collaborative support of community health while expanding their own leadership skills. The program — which runs September - November 2025 — uses a community learning approach for networking and discussion with leaders and experts, and includes hands-on activities for skill building.
The RHLI is designed for entry to mid-management professionals in New England (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine). While there are no specific degree requirements, the following are highly desirable:
to register for the upcoming New England RHLI! The application deadline is July 11, 2025.
The program is free, but limited to 30 participants — you must register and be eligible to join the cohort (we will keep a waitlist). If there are more than 30 eligible applicants, selection criteria will be used to ensure the most inclusive cohort with the widest representation of states, professions, and racial/ethnic/cultural diversity.
Participants are expected to attend all six 90-minute webinar sessions, both in-person sessions, and complete off-week preparatory work and session skills assignments. Total time commitment is approximately 24 hours September - November 2025.The RHLI is certified to offer continuing education credits (CHES).
While the RHLI is free to register, those accepted into the course will be responsible for the travel and lodging expenses (transportation, hotel, etc.) associated with both in-person events (the NERHA Student Summit & NERHA Annual Fall Conference). Conference registration fees will be waived. If this is a barrier to your participation, please email rhli@bu.edu.
