Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and out of concern for the health and safety of participants and staff, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the in-person MDAC 2020 Summit.
Those who had already registered for this year's summit will be contacted regarding a refund.
The development of innovative educational and clinical processes is key to the preparation of nurses for practice in an ever-evolving and complex health care environment. This conference is designed to explore new models, interventions, practices and policies that are advancing the preparation of the future nursing workforce and innovation in academic and practice partnerships.
