Nursing Education and Professional Development

Nursing Education and Professional Development (NEPD) supports VUMC’s mission of providing its staff with educational opportunities to enhance skills and foster ongoing professional development.

From orientation and onboarding, contact hour opportunities, and leader development programs, NEPD is an integral part of the support system for VUMC staff.

While most of what we do is focused on nursing, many of our programs and communications are pertinent to non-licensed clinical staff and non-nursing VUMC leaders.  We also have outreach opportunities for our community healthcare colleagues.

Support a culture of life-long learning by promoting and providing educational and developmental opportunities for healthcare professionals.
