Upper Midwest Geriatric Nursing Education Alliance
Initiated in 2008, the Upper Midwest Geriatric Nursing Education Alliance is composed of associate degree and higher nursing programs in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, and in tribal college nursing programs nationwide. Each member school designates a Faculty Champion committed to promoting excellence in geriatric nursing education to participate in Alliance activities and disseminate resources.
The Alliance:
- Provides Faculty Champions with resources, skills and strategies to strengthen geriatric nursing in their nursing programs;
- Facilitates resources sharing and networking among member schools through annual spring meetings (contact hours available), a list serv, and the GeroShare networking site;
- Offers opportunities to showcase school accomplishments in geriatric nursing education;
- Gives priority to members for participation in the Faculty Learning About Geriatrics (FLAG) program.
To become a member of the Alliance:
Our 4th Annual Upper Midwest Geriatric Nursing Education Alliance Meeting will be held May 21, 2012 at
Coffman Memorial Union, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Campus. Further details are forthcoming.
