The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Nursing Policy, Future of APRN Clinical Education Symposium was held September 24, 2018. The symposium gathered nursing leaders in academia and practice to review the purpose and outcomes of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing APRN Clinical Training Task Force and federal DHHS-HRSA, Advanced Nursing Education grant funded efforts in Michigan. Principle investigators or their designee shared an overview of the projects, as well as outcomes and lessons learned from their efforts. Following this overview, participants engaged in large group discussions and brainstorming concerning the academic and practice environment for advanced nursing education in Michigan and how best to leverage available nursing resources. Groups reported out their priorities for future efforts in Michigan. Attendees prioritized the output identifying what they believed to be the best efforts to ensure that the national dialogue on future models of advanced nursing clinical education includes evidence best suited to preparing future APRNs in Michigan. Power point presentations from the event may be found at the following links:
