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. Be inspired by our keynote speakers and expert panel and enjoy peer-reviewed poster presentations and our 3rd annual NED (Nursing Education) Talks.
