This article describes the Washington Health Policy Institute and the Health Policy Leadership Program as a leadership and policy partnership to develop nursing leaders who will serve as mentors and role models to effectively lead through internal and external change. The leadership program helps future nurse leaders understand the policy-making process on many fronts—political, economic, social, technological, and international. The challenges facing this nation regarding health care access, quality, and cost are monumental. Only through well-educated and savvy nurse leaders who understand the political realities as well as the agenda-setting and policy formulation processes will health care change occur.

Key Words: partnership • collaboration • leadership • health policy • education and practice
