PMI-MN – Grand Forks Outreach is excited to present A Project Lifecycle Case Study: Turning Critical State Healthcare Issues into a Thriving Academic Opportunity – UND Medical School

In 2011, the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) undertook a significant planning effort to address shortages in the State’s healthcare workforce and improve the healthcare of North Dakotans.  Through increased enrollment, improved student retention, and upgraded facilities to support changing pedagogies, the University intends to take action and make change.

Medical education programs are growing across the country with a focus on inter-professional health sciences education and patient care. Randy S. Eken will walk us through the project lifecycle discussing the innovative processes that were developed at UND SMHS, detailing the tools and decisions that led to the successful planning, funding, and design of their new inter-professional, collaborative-based academic center.
