Teaching Health Policy in Graduate Nursing Education: Giving Wings to Innovation
A day long workshop designed for faculty who teach health policy to graduate nursing students.
Conference Description: This conference will bring together interprofessional hands-on with those who teach health policy to graduate nursing students. Participants will be exposed to teaching and learning promising practices on current and emerging health policy issues, within the larger U.S. health policy context. This will provide faculty with a deeper perspective to broaden their teaching tools of health policy issues and dynamics to then pass along these competencies to their students. Attendees will be invited to share their own promising practices in teaching health policy live at the meeting and/or to add it to an electronic repository for all to use. Nurse leaders will leave with useful skills to analyze, influence and teach the policy making process at all levels to promote a culture of health.
Conference Objectives:
- Broaden and build expertise in teaching and learning methods in graduate nursing education related to health policy.
- Draw on interdisciplinary health policy experts to build mastery on current and emerging policy issues impacting health and health care.
- Participate in ongoing sharing of ‘best practices’ into the national repository for teaching graduate level health policy to nurses.
