Continuing Education
Through the Center for Nursing Practice, we offer a variety of continuing nursing education opportunities including, but not limited to, leadership training, targeted areas of research, mentoring trends, cultural competency, advocacy, forensics, sexual assault training, simulation, and advanced practice nursing topics including an annual pharmacology update.
Face-to-face and webinar sessions are available for proactive nurses in continuously updating their knowledge and skills to promote and improve health care. We position ourselves to support several educational offerings in conjunction with other professional disciplines to endorse the needs of our society.
Pharmacology Update
The annual pharmacology update is a virtual event designed to refresh clinical pharmacology knowledge. Geared towards professionals such as pharmacists, physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and advanced practice nurses working in both clinic and acute care settings, the sessions cover the latest pharmacotherapeutic guidelines. This year’s update will take place virtually on Friday, November 20.
Dr. James Wheeler, associate dean and associate professor of clinical pharmacy and translation science from the University of Tennessee, Health Science Center, will spend the first half breaking down major medication families. This comprehensive session covers every major organ system and highlights all vital updates for 2026.
