Translational Teamwork Micro-credential

The Translational Teamwork Micro-credential helps learners acquire critical teamwork strategies and tools to increase productivity and collaboration in teams. A prior knowledge/building background component helps learners reflect on what makes effective and ineffective teams. Workforce Development Core Competency Workshop videos assist learners in completing case study and reflection assignments to strengthen their ability to successfully work in teams. This micro-credential will improve learners’ teamwork, team leadership, and collaboration, and their ability for successful research to improve health outcomes, patient safety, innovation and entrepreneurship.
