RIT students grow the healthcare experience through exposure to vastly different health systems.
International travel in the medical field to understand different healthcare programs is part of a new RIT program to inspire better productivity and innovation. By studying different practices, students learn about the health system and variable factors like culture, political, and local environmental influences.
“A key challenge in health care right now is the ability to translate research to practice,” said Carla Stebbins, senior lecturer and program director. “In this field, that would require translating a new policy or practice into an operating procedure and applying research findings to improve patient outcomes and organizational performance.”
