Drexel University will team up with 12 institutions to raise the level of professionalism training in healthcare education thanks to a grant from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation.

Drexel will use the grant to improve its existing online resource, ProfessionalFormation.org, which offers interactive modules to improve the teaching, learning, and assessing of professionalism.
