Highlights
Join thought leaders from around the nation at AACN’s annual Doctoral Education
Conference, held concurrently with the Nursing Science and the Research-Focused
Doctorate Pre-Conference Workshop, the Faculty Practice Pre-Conference
Workshop, and the Research Leadership Network Program.
The annual Doctoral Education Conference brings together deans and associate
deans for research, directors of doctoral programs, and other faculty to chart the
future of doctoral nursing education. Join your colleagues from the majority of the
nation’s doctoral programs in nursing to:
•
•
•
•
•
Discover the lessons emerging from the rapid growth in interprofessional
practice, education, and research.
Examine the findings from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Five Studies
on Doctoral Education in Nursing.
Assess how to transform big data to knowledge.
Investigate the findings and recommendations of AACN’s current task forces
and planning subcommittees.
Explore personal interests through breakout and concurrent sessions, breakfast
gatherings, and abstract podium and poster presentations.
The Nursing Science and the Research-Focused Doctorate Pre-Conference
Workshop is designed for deans and associate deans for research who offer
research-focused doctoral nursing programs. Building on the work developed at the
2013 PhD Summit, this workshop digs deeper into the core concerns and issues
facing leaders in doctoral education who are committed to advancing nursing
science. This pre-conference workshop immediately precedes the Doctoral
Education Conference, allowing educators to attend both events.
The Faculty Practice Pre-Conference Workshop is coordinated by the Practice
Leadership Network (PLN) and is designed for those who promote, administer, and
engage in faculty practice. Topics this year address contemporary issues impacting
faculty practice. The PLN also meets during a breakfast session at the Doctoral
Education Conference. This pre-conference workshop immediately precedes the
Doctoral Education Conference, allowing educators to attend both events.
The Research Leadership Network (RLN) is comprised of nursing faculty who
have leadership roles facilitating research within their nursing programs. This year’s
RLN Program focuses on advancing nursing science in an environment of limited
resources, followed by stimulating discussions on issues most relevant to research
faculty today.
Doctoral Conference sessions are identified as most appropriate for faculty in
Research R and Practice P programs, although you are welcome to attend
sessions of your choice. Pre-registration is not required.
