Abstract
Poster presentation delivered at the 2021 Health and Medical Education Scholarship Symposium. The presentation highlights the methodology employed in the design of the Precision Health Program consisting of a Certificate in Precision Health, a Graduate Diploma in Precision Health, and a Master of Precision Health. The program offers innovative, student-centered curriculum delivered in flexible formats that use technology strategically. It offers specializations in Precision Medicine, Quality and Safety Leadership, Health Professional Education Leadership, and Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The 1-year stand-alone credentials can be used for professional development or stacked for credit toward the master's degree.
