Nursing educators and practitioners are collaborating to develop innovations to prepare faculty and practice-ready students and to support health care settings in retaining nurses and other health care personnel. The 2024 MDAC Summit will explore novel approaches to education and models of care that advance the profession and hold promise for the future.
Continuing education credits for nurses will be available.
MDAC leads innovation in improving the health of individuals, communities, and populations through efforts that build and sustain a culture of health.
This year’s summit is supported in part by the Maryland Nursing Workforce Center and the Nurse Leadership Institute at the University of Maryland School of Nursing through the Nurse Support Program II, which is funded by the Health Services Cost Review Commission and administered by the Maryland Higher Education Commission.
The University of Maryland School of Nursing is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
