Join the MedNexus High-Impact Practice (HIP) Course Initiative
Are you ready to create transformative educational experiences that equip students with the skills to excel in the evolving healthcare industry? The MedNexus HIP course initiative at the University of North Florida invites faculty of all ranks to submit proposals for innovative, hands-on courses that incorporate real-world projects.
In the Northeast Florida region, 11 of the top 25 employers are healthcare related. Advances in technology, such as artificial intelligence, automation and telemedicine, are revolutionizing patient care and streamlining administrative processes.
