Showcasing a Three-pronged Approach to Creating DNP Leaders and Change Agents
This webinar showcases three activities offered in a DNP program that have created leaders and change agents in our healthcare system. The focus: 1) creating a personal strategic plan, 2) self assessment of leadership attributes, and 3) a two-week experiential activity that aims to break down barriers to interprofessional collaboration. Attendees engage in student activities in order to gain a greater appreciation and understanding of the content delivered.
NOTE: This Webinar is only open to deans, faculty, staff, and students from AACN member schools of nursing.
