Preparing the Next Generation of Leaders
The GAPNA Leadership Institute was founded in 2019 and is a year-long leadership program that includes both online synchronous and face-to-face components.
An experienced and nationally recognized nurse leader facilitates the curriculum. All fellows work one-on-one with mentors, all of whom have held leadership positions within GAPNA.
Projects have included areas of improvement such as development of innovative geriatric communication strategies, clinical pathways, educational content for nurse practitioners, and clinical ladder implementation.
This is an excellent opportunity to engage closely with GAPNA leaders while growing and developing as an advanced practice nurse. The program is high touch and personalized to each mentee facilitated by mentorship with a seasoned GAPNA leader. Mentees gain tremendous value in this dedicated time to focus on moving their leadership skills to the next level.
Benefits of the Leadership Institute:
- Develop meaningful peer relationships among other fellows.
- Receive individualized mentorship to establish personal leadership development plan.
- Increase the capacity for GAPNA leadership and in the workplace.
