PROGRAM INFORMATION:

Texas is currently facing a growing shortage of healthcare professionals, especially among Registered Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses. As Colleges of Nursing and Health Education programs work to expand capacity and adapt to new training models, the built environment plays a pivotal role in helping to meet these demands.

Join us for a dynamic panel discussion exploring how evolving healthcare curricula and immersive and experiential learning is driving innovation in facility design and construction. Our experts will examine:

Causes for the decline in healthcare professionals and how to help mitigate them
How new pedagogies are reshaping space planning and functional requirements
Design strategies for technology rich simulation labs, skills training environments, and interprofessional education spaces
Approaches to staying on schedule and working with tight budgets in the delivery of new and/or existing facilities in need of updating
Best practices for owner and design team collaboration on health education projects

Moderated by a Health Science + Interprofessional Education design specialist, this conversation will provide valuable insights for architects, engineers, contractors, and owners engaged in shaping the next generation of healthcare training environments in Texas.

Brittany Tower – Assistant Director for Simulation and Skills Learning
Sam Houston State University
