Stryker education

Course Overview

Train with Impact is a fast-paced and highly interactive program challenging participants to move beyond didactic lecture style training to fully immersive active training. The aim is to engage the learner to aid retention, change behaviour and drive results. Key areas covered include information on how people learn, how to design blended training, as well as exploring personal impact and facilitation skills. Throughout the program, participants will work on a real-life clinical example.

Facilitators offer unique perspectives and include those with extensive leadership, presenting and medical device experience. Pilots teaching Human Factors and Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) versed in training.
