HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
When caring for patients, clinical confidence and competence starts with quality education.
The Health Care Professional Development Program (formerly called Continuing Education in Nursing & Health Care Program) began in 1979 in the College of Nursing and has been accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center since 1985.
It is our mission to provide innovative educational experiences that inspire self-discovery, promote individual professional advancement and elevate organizational performance. This mission statement guides all programs.
