CONTINUING EDUCATION FLOURISHES

Alumni and faculty will continue to benefit from professional development provided by the College of Nursing and Health Innovation (CONHI), as the college recently received reaccreditation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. This credential certifies CONHI as an accredited provider of nursing professional development activities, which allows registered nurses to earn nursing contact hours toward fulfillment of renewal requirements for relicensure specified by their state boards of nursing.

“It is extremely valuable to be an accredited provider,” says Becky Baird, clinical assistant professor and director of faculty development. “It’s beneficial for our faculty, who can take advantage of the many continuing education opportunities we offer, as well as our alumni and other nurses who have 24/7 access to our free programs.”

CONHI offers an array of free continuing education activities at uta.edu/conhi, and plans are underway to add more throughout the year. The activities are available to alumni, preceptors, and other stakeholders and can go toward fulfilling their required hours. The College also provides high-quality online live activities for faculty, focusing on topics in academia.

“Upon graduation and licensure, students can look to us to be a provider of continuing nursing education to fulfill their professional development needs,” says Baird.
