How can we transform a potentially challenging clinic or research visit into an uplifting and safe experience? That’s the question at the center of “The Amazing You”—the theme for Boston Children’s Brookline and the new Brain, Mind, and Behavior Center. In this webinar, attendees will hear the story of how a multidisciplinary group including clinicians, neuroscientists, families, patients, and designers teamed up to thoughtfully design an outpatient experience as considered and unique as the neurodiverse population it serves. The team will highlight elements of a cross-disciplinary approach to environmental design where programming, planning, architecture, wayfinding, and interiors all work together to choreograph a uniquely engaging yet calm, safe, patient-centered experience.

Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate. As of July 9, 2020, The Center for Health Design requires a CEU management fee for verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org.
