7. Critical Thinking in the Healthcare Environment (2004-2005 MIL Fellowship)
package shared by Nancy Johnson (GateWay Community College)
In healthcare, specifically the diagnostic imaging environment requires students to process information at an analysis, synthesis and application level; a much higher expectation than at a knowledge level.
