Research Day
Research Day 2023: Research and Practice in Healthcare Post-2020
April 3-4, 2023
Whether you are leading quality improvement in clinical settings, developing new knowledge to improve health outcomes, implementing strategies to address healthcare access barriers, or educating the next generation of nurses, the Covid-19 pandemic probably affected how you execute your scholarship. This year's theme invites you to rethink research, clinical practice, and scholarship post-2020. How did the pandemic affect your science, and how is Nursing uniquely positioned to advance health care for all in this new era? Join us to share your experiences and findings.
What's different about Research Day 2023?
- Research Day 2023 utilizes a hybrid format: plenary talks will be in person, while research presentations will be over Zoom
- Remote five-minute research presentations will be live, with a recorded option for undergraduate students only
- The event will take place over two full days, vs. three half-days
Research and practice in healthcare take many different forms. Whether you’re leading quality improvement projects, developing new knowledge, implementing policy or educating the next generation of nurses, your work has been affected by the dramatic political, social and cultural changes over the past three years. While the recent years have brought unimaginable healthcare challenges, we have also witnessed unprecedented innovation and adaption. Our 2023 theme invites you to think about how your research, service and practice have changed post-2020. Share your experiences and insight in to how recent events-- whether it be the COVID-19 pandemic, the fall of Roe, or escalating climate change--have shaped your science and how Nursing is poised to advance healthcare in this new decade.
