The School of Nursing offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs. We have a Community Advisory Council made up of diverse professional and community members to guide us in the overall direction and quality of our programs.

Their input ensures that our program offerings reflect the latest in nursing practice, health care and education. Including patient voices is essential to be sure our graduates are able to address the needs of patients, families and communities.

Patient and family partners should not be a check box on research proposals! They need to be involved right from the start. I know patient and family partners are doing their part by providing their knowledge to researchers from their lived experience.  It’s a win-win for us to work together through PVN to make sure our input drives improvements.
