Oral Health Hot Topics: You Can't Have Good Overall Health Without Good Oral Health

Presenters: Judith Haber, Erin Hartnett
Description: This presentation will address the oral-systemic links for three high morbidity population health challenges: HAP, HPV, and COVID-19. The three conditions provide innovative clinical exemplars for operationalizing the IPEC competencies and the social determinants of health. Exciting interprofessional classroom, simulation, and clinical teaching-learning strategies will be featured that help promote collaboration between nursing students at undergraduate and graduate levels with student peers across the health professions. This session will highlight the influence of the social determinants of health in the prevention of HAP, HPV, and COVID-19, related oral health complications, and essential interventions for providing whole-person care that links oral health with overall health.

Emerging Technologies: Navigating Disruptive Innovation

Presenter: Missi Stec
Description: Technology is all around us. From our smart phones, tablets, and laptops to the multiple learning management systems available to deliver courses. How technology is leveraged in nursing education is pivotal to long-term outcomes, including student success and satisfaction. In order to stay competitive and relevant to the next generation of learners, nursing educators must embrace innovation and technology creating interactive, multidimensional learning environments. Strategies for integration of technology and active learning are discussed while giving the participants the opportunity to conceptualize how they can transform their own learning environments. The session addresses how to harness the power of innovation and develop the skill set needed for faculty to thrive as disruptive innovators.

Nursing Practice within a Population Context: Exemplars in Practice and Education

Presenters: Susan Swider, Erica D. Hooper-Arana
Description: For at least a decade, healthcare experts have been talking about population health as both a mechanism and goal for health care overall. What does this mean for nursing practice? How can nurses enhance their practice with population health knowledge and skills? How should nurse educators teach this skill set? Most significantly, how does this add value to nursing’s contribution to improving the health of the public across the care continuum? This session addresses these issues and present exemplar models of nursing practice and education in the context of population health.

Professional Identity Formation: Beyond Competencies

Presenter: Nelda Godfrey
Description: A focus on competencies is certainly a central theme in today’s higher education conversations. However, competency is not all of the story. This session explores how professional identity formation became a valued pedagogical consideration in nearly all health professions education and how it fits well with a competency-based approach to nursing education. The language and growing science surrounding the concept of professional identity in nursing will be shared as well as strategies for incorporating professional identity formation in undergraduate and graduate curricula.
