Bradley Hospital's clinical expertise, renowned research center and academic affiliation with The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University make the

About our Courses

The DBE's courses have been designed to improve participants' knowledge and skills, thereby promoting quality patient services through highly competent employees.

Each course incorporates learning principles for both licensed and unlicensed attendees. Program models include live class presentations, role-playing, group discussion, computer-based learning, evidenced-based manualized curricula, and satellite conferencing.

Individual competency is measured through skills demonstration and pre- and post-test formats, which are monitored through a computer-based management system.
