In a brainstorming session at the APPNA Convention on Sat Aug 15, 2015

The following points came out as most important:

1) Committee structure that may stay for a few yrs
2) Not have a Top Down approach rather start small and build up block by block
3) Have formal Business plans and consultants in varying areas who can create feasibilities
4) Formal process of fund collection that we can safe keep for this particular plan and expand on it
5) Creation of sub committees, which may work on varying projects simultaneously

To accomplish this a 4 prong approach is being suggested:

We start with Creation of:

1) School of Allied Health with focus on Echo and Ultrasound training
2) School of Health Sciences with focus on
a) Public Health
b) Hospital Administration
c) Infectious Disease
d) Neurosciences
3) Hospital with Residency training
4) Medical School
