Professional Development for Teachers of Health Professionals/Connect and communicate



It is often said that the majority of learning happens informally, especially professional learning. To support this, we have established Teachers of Health Professionals, an online community of practitioners. You can use this community to network and socialise generally, or find peer support for your efforts in this program.
