MARCH PROGRAM

The Future of Nursing Education,
Today and Tomorrow
Heather Voss, PhD, RN

One might call it a perfect storm. Major changes in the U.S. health care system require equally profound changes in the education of nurses — at the same time that well-trained nurses are in short supply. Heather Voss, PhD, RN, Campus Associate Dean at OHSU School of Nursing Ashland Campus will discuss the demands of educating the next generation of nurses at a time of unprecedented challenges, along with the cutting-edge education nursing students receive at Oregon Health & Science University – Ashland. She will showcase two of the program’s latest initiatives, including a US Department of Health-funded Street Nursing Team, one of two in the nation.

Dr. Voss is inviting your comments and/or questions before the Branch meeting, so that she can incorporate that information and her responses during this program. There will also be a Q&A after her presentation at the Branch meeting. If you wish to submit questions prior to the meeting, please email Dr. Voss.
