AHA Team Training | Virtual | July 16 - August 6, 2024

This workshop will cover fundamental TeamSTEPPS tools, reengage your “why”, and provide innovative ideas for teaching and implementing the TeamSTEPPS 3.0 tools.

Our 4-week virtual workshop combines weekly interactive, live sessions with highly flexible self-paced learning. This course is designed for participants who have completed a Master Training Course in the past or have been exposed to TeamSTEPPS and are looking to refresh their knowledge on the tools and principles and/or reinvigorate implementation of TeamSTEPPS in their organization. Participants will identify and activate new insights into team strategy, paving the way to an innovative and sustainable TeamSTEPPS program. Whether you have recently completed your training or you are a TeamSTEPPS veteran, you will walk away with renewed confidence in your ability to both use and share TeamSTEPPS tools and principles in fresh ways.

Workshop Schedule and Overview

This workshop runs for 4 weeks per cohort.

The virtual workshop design is based on several guiding principles: 1) health care professionals need access to flexible learning options that work with busy schedules; 2) live online workshops should be focused on active learning – engaging directly with faculty and peers and learning how to apply tools and skills to a variety of situations; and 3) knowledge transfer is most effective when participants can immediately apply what they learn to their work.

Over the course of 4 weeks, participants will be re-introduced to a selection of TeamSTEPPS tools and principles, chosen for their proven effectiveness and universal appeal. In this highly interactive workshop, participants will learn the foundational skills to assess their organization’s needs, engage with colleagues, and build ownership within their organizations. On Tuesdays, participants and faculty will come together for a live workshop to review, apply, share and collaborate.
