Teamwork Courses
“TeamSTEPPS has given me the opportunity to see techniques and examples that can be used to promote opportunities for improvement. It is great to see/hear true life implementation and the struggles so it gives me hope and expectation of setbacks but to regroup and continue with the process until we get where we need to be to promote a healthy and safe workplace for all.” -Course Attendee
