Healthcare Education and Basic Skills Strategies Webinar

Low reading, math, and other basic skills represent a principal barrier to recruitment and success of healthcare education programs. To address this issue, HPOG programs should provide innovative approaches to basic skills education so that lower skilled individuals can enroll in the program and go on to enter and complete post-secondary training. 

The Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) Program is offering a webinar showcasing innovative approaches to basic skills education on Wednesday, April 29 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The Department of Education will present findings from an international assessment of basic skills and discuss promising emerging instructional models. Abt Associates will discuss why innovative basic skills strategies are critical to success in healthcare training programs and will highlight key research findings that point toward promising strategies.
