Sustainable healthcare
This Learning Community focuses on sustainable healthcare and interdisciplinary collaboration. This means that as part of a community, you are in contact with others. You exchange information with fellow students and provide each other with feedback. Hospitals, suppliers, and purchasing organizations also participate in the Learning Community, from whom you will receive professional feedback. Communication is important in carrying out your assignment, as is engaging others in your research and maintaining contact with various parties.
