Course Objectives: 
The most important features that having multiple functions and structures that combine multiple disciplines within the healthcare buildings. Here is the aim to teach combination of multiple functions and disciplines of national and international principles of healthcare facilities planning and formation of mindset.
Course Content: 

Design principles are developed according to each nation's own request. But we are working on international design principles. To receive international accreditation of healthcare facilities should be regulated. The main content of this course contains to examine the design principles for international accreditation and to explain with the examples of good solution.
