Johns Hopkins has received a grant from the Helene Fuld Health Trust in New York City that will fund a leadership program designed to produce 200 new nurses with a focus on healthcare quality and safety.
Under the Fuld Leadership Program for the Advancement of Patient Care Quality and Safety, nursing students will be offered education and training by professors and healthcare providers of the university's schools of nursing, medicine and public health.
"The Fuld Leadership Program will transform the school's ability to prepare future nursing leaders with strong competencies in quality and safety," said Johns Hopkins School of Nursing Dean Martha N. Hill, PhD, RN. "In addition, the program will help strengthen nursing education nationwide by offering an exemplary academic approach to building competencies in quality and safety that can be replicated or adapted at other leading institutions."
