Teach the Trainer: Closing the Feedback Loop

For this event, we welcome clinical and/or classroom instructors in the following health care disciplines: nursing, radiologic technologist, respiratory care practitioner, sonographer, surgical technologist, physical therapist, physical therapist assistant, occupational therapist and occupational therapist assistant.
