AHD Learning Community Welcomes Input on Member Needs The Academic Health Department (AHD) Learning Community seeks input on the needs and priorities of its members in order to determine future Learning Community activities. Having grown to more than 350 members, the Learning Community is considering how best to support individuals with widely varying interests and experiences in developing, maintaining, and expanding AHD partnerships. To help ensure that Learning Community efforts are focused where they will be most beneficial to members, a needs assessment is being conducted. Responses will be collected through February 28, 2014, and your participation is welcome and encouraged. For questions about the Learning Community or assistance with the needs assessment, please contact Kathleen Amos at [email protected].
