2021 Nexus Innovation Challenge
This is a private group for teams that are registered for the 2021 Nexus Innovation Challenge. The 2021 Nexus Innovation Challenge is a catalyst for teams to learn and apply Design Thinking principles to solve challenges and design opportunities within their clinical and educational environments. Using mapping tools, protoyping and visualization models, this longitudinal program is designed for teams to grow practical skills and apply them to a specific initiative in their own contexts, focusing on the intersection of interprofessional education and collaborative care. The Challenge is intended to support teams in designing real-life solutions to problems or responding to opportunities that teams have identified as important to advancing their work. The Innovation Challenge is a long-term investment in the work you and your team are already doing in your own context.
