Dutch Study Tour 2012
 
         
 
 
A TOUR OF THE DUTCH HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
 
AUPHA, in partnership with The Decision Group (http://www.thedecisiongroup.nl/) announces a 5-day study tour of the Dutch healthcare system. The purpose of this tour is to provide AUPHA members and stakeholders with new ways to think about specific health management and policy issues by interacting with experts from other countries that are grappling with similar problems. The focus will be on areas in which the Netherlands has excelled or experimented with innovative programs, or has unique challenges from which our faculty can learn.
 
AUDIENCE
The tours will include healthcare management faculty, students, and practitioners. A maximum of 20 participants will be accepted for the tour. AUPHA reserves the right to cancel the tour 90 days in advance if it is undersubscribed.
