Department of Learning Health Sciences launches The Loop

There’s a fresh way to get acquainted with the Department of Learning Health Sciences via their E-newsletter, The Loop — arriving this week in email inboxes and online.

Designed to give informative snapshots into the dynamic work of this new department, the December 2016 issue introduces readers to a first-of-its-kind Ph.D. program, the diabetes work of Gretchen Piatt, Ph.D., and explains the Knowledge Grid, a 21st century “big idea” being piloted now for faster knowledge sharing.

Subscribers to The Loop can keep up with the department’s evolution from the former Department of Medical Education into a diverse research and education hub that seeks to make learning effective, routine and scalable, from health professionals in the trenches to health systems that span states and nations.
