Resource Summary: This document outlines 12 domains, related tasks, and behavioral examples for Core Competencies for the Primary Care Association CEO. These domains and related tasks and examples were identified and vetted through a National Advisory Panel made up of key staff who would have interaction with the PCA-CEO position in various settings.

Resource Details: Core Competencies for Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of Primary Care Association (PCAs) build on formalized health center CEO competencies – with which they share many commonalities – that were first addressed by NACHC in 2017. As with health center CEOs, the intent was to create a taxonomy of competencies as a foundation for defining multiple aspects of effective PCA CEO leadership. The result is a tool that is organic – that is, it is subject to continuous quality improvement and regular updating as PCA CEO practice evolves and as feedback on the tool itself is analyzed.
