History
The Center for the Enhancement of Healthcare Training and Outcomes (CEHTO) is a biopsychosocial training program for medical, nursing, and graduate students, other prospective health care professionals, and faculty at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USU). An effective infrastructure for Project EXPORT (Excellence in Partnerships for Community Outreach, Research on Disparities in Health and Training), CEHTO was established to optimize patient adherence and treatment outcomes by enhancing health providers' interpersonal and communication skills with diverse patients, educating practitioners about health disparities, and highlighting the importance of establishing interactive patient-provider relationships. This lead to the Centers of Excellence under the funding of the NIH.
