The assignments were where I discovered whether I truly understood the material. This Specialization produces real learning.

  • Previous approaches in the area of patient safety have been primarily characterized by reacting to errors in order to avoid them in the future. However, patient safety concerns much more than just avoiding errors and certain complications. Rather, patient safety must be understood as an inherent characteristic of teams and organizations.

  • The course is for the Ag professionals from the Ag professionals.
