Team Training Advisory Panel
The AHA Team Training Advisory Panel is composed of interprofessional leaders and recognized experts in TeamSTEPPS and team training. Panel members are selected for their demonstrated excellence in facilitation, leadership within their organizations and experience driving quality improvement initiatives.
As panel members, they provide strategic guidance for AHA Team Training and share valuable expertise to inform the development of new resources, programs and offerings. Together, we advance the practice of team-based care by educating, convening and supporting healthcare organizations in their efforts to improve collaboration, strengthen communication and deliver the highest quality team-based care.
