Leadership Pathways Program
The Leadership Pathways Program is designed to encourage active duty military, family members, and
DOD civilians to participate in wing programs and activities designed to strengthen individual, family and unit resilience using the “4 Domains of Fitness” (mental, physical, social and spiritual). This is a great opportunity for you to attend courses offered by helping agencies on Grand Forks AFB without a
pre-existing need. The purpose of attending these courses is to provide you with information, resources, and skills that will strengthen your resiliency as a Wingman. Upon completion of a course, credits are awarded. When you have reached one of the below milestones, contact your Leadership Pathways Coordinator, Patricia Cerone, 747-3470, who will provide a certificate of completion and associated incentives.
Wingman 10 LP credits Squadron Recognition
Leader 20 LP credits Group Recognition
Warrior 30 LP credits Wing Recognition & Name will be displayed on the Warrior
Wall located at the AMC/CAF Website

The number of credits awarded for each core course is based on the time commitment required to complete the course. For example, 1 hr = .5 credits; 2 hrs = 1 credit; 3 hrs = 1.5 credits; 4 hrs = 2 credits. One credit will be awarded for every 2 classroom hours required, up to a maximum of 4 credits per class regardless of course length.

Multi-Disciplinary Education Class/Patient Education Center
Self-management or self-care support entails helping patients solve the care problems that are
important to them; dealing with the impacts of their disease(s) on their daily lives and goals; and helping
improve their confidence in their ability to manage their health. Self-management support “puts
the patient in patient-centered care.” Most patients are simply not interested in managing their
"disease," and in fact may deny the diagnosis because they feel distressed by the stigma of having a
serious health problem or fear the consequences of the disease(s). What patients first need help
managing is not their disease, but the current or potential impacts of the disease on their daily lives and
their hopes and dreams.
By helping patients manage the impacts of their disease(s), we help them manage their disease(s). This is the heart of self-care or self-management support.
