Nancy Short will present in an American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Faculty Policy Think Tank webinar entitled "Policy Education in Nursing: Faculty Think Tank Report and Recommendations." This webinar will take place on May 23 from 2-3 p.m. Other presenters include Amy Anderson of Texas Christian University. 

The AACN Board of Directors approved the creation of a Faculty Policy Think Tank (FPTT) in 2015 to provide critical insight into the state of policy education in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs. The FPTT was comprised of health policy experts from member schools around the nation. The primary charge of the Think Tank was to make recommendations toward informing and improving health policy education in nursing. The Think Tank envisioned a robust agenda outlined in the final report and recommendations made to the Board with the intent of enhancing the reach and influence of the nursing profession. The purpose of the recommendations are to develop a generation of practitioners that both understand the macro and micro drivers impacting policy and will skillfully insert their nursing expertise into policy discussions at all levels.
