Figure 1. Cylinder of domain knowledge and skills.

With increasing mastery within a domain, and individual gains increased knowledge and skills as they progress from beginner to advanced practitioner. This is represented in Figure 1, the cylinder of domain knowledge and skills.

The increased use of advanced technologies in teaching-learning-assessment environments as well as in a diversity of clinical and other Health Sciences settings is having an impact on Health Science individuals from pre-licensing education to school to work transitions to post-licensure practice, training, and professional development.

There is a striking inadequacy in the research base about how best to apply advanced technologies to improve student outcomes, school to work transitions, and improved competencies at the professional level.

Figure 2 provides a synthesis of HETRUs vision.

The cylinder of knowledge and skills is divided into core areas of research and commercialization that HETRUs research suggests are the most promising areas for evidence-based development of teaching, learning, and learning assessment environments likely to improve education and practice in the Health Sciences.
