Join UMSON’s Institute for Educators in person as we connect, reflect, and celebrate 20 years of excellence in nursing education. We will revisit our first-ever conference two decades ago, “Educating Nurses: Innovation to Application,” while exploring the current state of key innovations, evidence-based teaching strategies, and the future of nursing education. This 2025 special anniversary event will offer opportunities to learn from national and local experts in both academic and practice settings.
