They'll learn how to design facilities that cater to diverse needs, from patients with disabilities to those with specific cultural or linguistic requirements. They'll also learn how to manage and maintain facilities in a way that's sustainable and environmentally friendly. CHARLOTTE: That's fantastic. And what about recognition and certification?
