MHPTT Artifacts

Eight competencies, evidenced across eleven outcome areas.

The Master of Health Professions Teaching & Technology is built around eight core competencies. Three of them — Research, Leadership, and Learner Assessment — carry two distinct sub-statements each, which is why eight competencies are evidenced across eleven pages. Each page states its outcome, then presents the artifacts evidencing it — what the work required, what it demonstrates, and the file itself.
