Hospital Development (HD) staff maintain a close, collaborative relationship with hospitals throughout the United States, to help define, shape and guide their roles in the donation process. HD staff require foundational HD skills to execute their role effectively. This course offers instruction and skill-development in foundational HD skills.
Target Audience:
The Foundational Building Blocks of Hospital Development (HD) is designed to share and teach “best practices” to HD professionals and any OPO professionals wishing to develop and grow HD skills.

It is designed to supplement existing HD knowledge and provides a forum to explore resources, learn best practices and share with colleagues from across the country. It is recommended that those attending the Foundational Building Blocks of HD course should have at least three months experience in HD. To build upon the foundational course, and to prepare new and future leaders, an Advanced HD course is also offered later in the year.

The curriculum of the Foundation Building Blocks of Hospital Development (HD) course was developed based on feedback of HD directors and managers across the nation.
