Opportunities & Resources to Consider
- The Adolescent SBIRT initiative encourages the infusion of adolescent screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) education into undergraduate and graduate curriculum by social work and nursing educators, field instructors, and preceptors; and adoption of adolescent SBIRT by social work, nursing, and other practitioners. The initiative is hosting a four-part webinar series introducing health professionals to the SBIRT model as a way to learn from adolescents about their substance use, talk about what might motivate them to make a decision to reduce or abstain (if needed), and execute a plan to do so.
- In a special edition of the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing’s Dean’s Podcast, Dr. Patricia Davidson is joined by three guests who were involved in developing the World Health Organization’s State of the World’s Nursing Report. They discuss some of the report’s most important data on nursing globally and consider how the report is impactful during this unprecedented time of COVID-19.
- The Health Resources & Services Administration 2020 Faculty Loan Repayment Program (FLRP) is now accepting applications. The FLRP works to increase faculty from disadvantaged backgrounds by providing loan repayment to those who have an interest in pursuing a career at an eligible health professions school. Faculty may receive up to $40,000 for two years of service to repay qualifying educational loans. For more information, visit HRSA's website and plan to join the technical assistance call on June 4 at 3:00 pm (ET). The application deadline of June 25, 2020 at 7:30 pm (ET).
