Nursing Education and Professional Development (NE&PD) supports VUMC’s mission of providing its staff educational opportunities to enhance skills and foster ongoing professional development. From orientation and onboarding, contact hour opportunities, and leader development programs, NE&PD is an integral part of the support system for VUMC staff.
While most of what we do is focused on nursing, many of our programs and communications are pertinent to non- licensed clinical staff and non-nursing VUMC leaders. We also have outreach opportunities for our community healthcare colleagues.
