Learning is a progression that starts with gathering information, processing it, and applying it to life situations. My goal as the Co-Director for Professional Laboratories is to create the foundation for such life-long learning through application of knowledge using critical thinking skills, case-based learning techniques, hands-on practice, and interprofessional collaboration.
