AUBMC and Riley Children’s Health say they will collaborate on and share learning materials, students, residents, fellows and faculty members through exchange programs. They will also launch joint research projects and educational endeavors.
“Riley Children’s Health is interested in extending our reach to kids around the globe, whenever we can.
