AdventHealth University Division echelon®

echelon® specializes in continuing education and professional development, integrating course design and media development with accreditation and hosting. Our mission is to serve the continuing education and professional development needs of organizations and individuals in various industries by providing informational resources and high-quality e-learning to enhance professional development. We offer engaging multimedia courses that follow best practices in educational design and fulfill continuing education requirements. At echelon®, we develop our courses according to sound principles of instructional design and e-learning. Studies on best practices for adult education have shown that interactive, multimedia programs that support multiple learning styles have the greatest impact. Our courses combine audio, video, and animated graphics in ways that optimize interactive learning. Our participants will learn, not through reading articles or passively viewing PowerPoint presentations, but through participating in activities designed to reinforce concepts and stimulate thinking. Online education has proven to be more cost-effective for not only the individual user but also for organizations, with the distance traveled to seminars being replaced with online educational programs. From Human Resources, OSHA, and healthcare, to specialized departmental education and training, our team of professionals work with each client in developing educational strategies from conception to distribution. For over 15 years, echelon® has been partnering with clients such as HealthStream Inc., Phillips Healthcare, Toshiba America Medical Systems, Covidien, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, AdventHealth Systems, Metroplex Health System, Peterson Regional Medical Center, GE Healthcare, Barnes Jewish Hospitals, and hospital systems throughout the U.S. to deliver quality online educational courses and resources customized for their needs.
