Post-Graduate Nurse Educator Certificate Program

Purpose

The Post Graduate Nurse Educator Certificate (PG-NEC) is designed for master’s or doctoral-prepared nurses seeking a concentrated plan of study focusing on the roles and functions of the nurse educator. Through a rigorous and inclusive curriculum, we aim to cultivate nurse educators who are adept at promoting research, scholarship, and evidence-based teaching practices. Students will engage in authentic and inclusive teaching strategies that support dynamic and diverse learning environments, emphasizing contemporary trends in nursing pedagogy in curriculum development, assessment and evaluative techniques, educational technology, and role transition. The PG-NEC prioritizes professional socialization and leadership, preparing our graduates to become influential educators, change agents, and lifelong learners dedicated to the advancement of the nursing profession.
