The Learning Center
opened in August 1998 with a vision of providing a contemporary and
aesthetically pleasing environment where UK Hospital employees can engage
in educational activities which lead to overall improvement in the
employees' job knowledge and performance. We recognize that the
most important component of a successful organization is a competent and
dedicated staff. Investment in the growth of individuals
ultimately improves the quality of services the Hospital delivers.
The Learning Center
comprises the physical facilities within the Hospital dedicated to
classrooms, conference room, self-learning carrels, and learning
resources which provide an environment conducive to learning. This
physical space is administered by Staff Education Services, whose
mission is to provide educational opportunities, resources and services
in support of the operations and mission of UK Hospital.
Located within The
Learning Center is a main classroom, which will accommodate 48 learners,
a Computer Training Lab with 12 computer training stations, a small
conference room, a clinical training room, and restroom and kitchenette
facilities. In addition, a small workroom will provide four computers where
individuals can work independently at Computer Assisted Instruction or
in preparing materials for teaching.
