Health Systems Science Education

The National Academies Global Forum on Innovations in Health Professional Education held a public workshop in November 2023. Speakers explored how health professional educators and providers with health systems science (HSS) training can prepare learners to work together within health systems, resulting in better patient care, improved population health, and enhanced health professional well-being. Organizers hosted a public pre-workshop in October 2023 to create a foundational understanding of HSS prior to their workshop.
