Announcements

Three scholarships are available for the nationally-recognized “Teaching and Leading EBM” Workshop, which will be held at Duke Health from April 4-7, 2017. These scholarships are reserved for residents, fellows, and faculty who can bring EBM back to Duke academic and residency programs. The workshop focuses not only on practicing EBM, but also on teaching EBM, making it an ideal educational opportunity for rising chief residents or others involved in teaching and the education of residents and students.

The Center for Nursing Discovery’s (CND) simulation program was granted accreditation by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare.  The award will be presented at the annual IMSH conference in Orlando on Monday, January 30, 2017.  Michele Kuszajewski and Margie Molloy along with other DUSON Faculty Members will be there to accept the award. This achievement was a group effort and one that the CND Staff and CND Advisory Board are proud of.

Why we sought accreditation?:

AHEAD Learner Advisory Board (LAB) member, Leslie Mitchell, MSN, RN, was recently chosen by DUSON faculty to be the student speaker at the December DUSON graduation ceremonies.  Read Leslie's full speech here.  Congratulations Leslie!
