AUPHA, in partnership with Dr. Usman Khan of Modus Europe announces a 6-day study tour of the healthcare system of the United Kingdom. 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 United Kingdom and the NHS has excelled or experimented with innovative programs, or has unique challenges from which our faculty can learn.
