Elsevier's Academic Consulting Group will host the third annual Concept-Based Curriculum Symposium from June 4-5, 2015, at Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center in Kansas City, Mo. The event will offer a wealth of practical information for nursing educators and institutions that have already transitioned to a concept-based curriculum or are just beginning to explore their options.
The two-day conference will provide an in-depth look at how a concept-based curriculum addresses many of the challenges in nursing education today. It will also explore practical strategies to help attendees successfully implement conceptual teaching–learning techniques into nursing education programs. Attendees can choose from two tracks, one for faculty who are new to a concept-based curriculum and another for those who have experience with a concept-based curriculum.
Featured speakers include Dr. Nelda Godfrey, Associate Dean, Undergraduate Programs and Clinical Professor, The University of Kansas; Dr. Susan Sportsman, Director of Academic Consulting Group, a Service of Elsevier; and Dr. Tim Bristol, a faculty development, curriculum design specialist and owner of NurseTim, Inc. Additionally, attendees will hear from the leaders in nursing education.
