Office of Professional Development

The Office of Professional Development focuses on innovative professional development programs, conferences, and workshops for nurses and nursing faculty. It is widely recognized for its national and international education programs, including the Annual Summer Institute in Nursing Informatics. The Office of Professional Development also provides on-site and Web-based programs for nurses locally and in rural areas of Maryland, the region, and the nation. And, through multiple programs and contracts, has undertaken self-study continuing education programs through professional journals and conducted staff development programs for government agencies and private corporations.

The office developed the first network independent study courses online for nurses, which are currently available via the World Wide Web. This innovative approach to self-study and individualized learning has been recognized internationally and is serving as the prototype for other universities and professional organizations.
