ReplyDeleteI attended last year as a PhD nursing student - and even though I have 30 years experience as a nurse - really enjoyed the sharing of ideas and meeting people new to health care and 'seasoned' in health care - we all learned something from each other.
It is a shame that the program is limited to medical and nursing students. There is much to be desired of a roundtable or "camp" that brings together only two groups of people. As a clinical allied health professional (MRI Tech) who is getting an advanced education, I would love if the scholarship program was strengthened to include individuals from pharmacy, respiratory, lab, radiology and any other potentially high-risk patient related areas.
ReplyDeleteZach,
ReplyDeleteAs a 2013 National Patient Safety alumna and scholar, please apply for this opportunity. In my cohort, we had a medical librarian and a pharmacist. Additionally, there was a scholarship for an international nurse to attend. It will be a great opportunity for anyone. I continue to reference lessons learned from my immersive and truly indescribable experience!
