In addition to promoting curriculum change in schools, achieving the ELHDI purpose also will require the applicant organization to work closely with the consortium of experts to develop, test, and disseminate the curriculum through variety of strategies directed at practicing health care professionals, including live and on-line meetings, webinars, and satellite conferences).
