January 2023 marked the launch of ELNEC's new year-long webinar series: Innovation with ELNEC Education. Each month, we will share strategies to maximize student learning about primary palliative care. Webinars will alternate between modules within the ELNEC Undergraduate/New Graduate and ELNEC Graduate online curricula. Presenters will explore strategies for teaching and evaluation related to each specific ELNEC module. Modules will be designed to meet the needs of all faculty, including long-time ELNEC champions and newer users. These webinars are FREE for all faculty at schools of nursing. Visit the Schools of Nursing Faculty Corner or watch AACN and ELNEC communications with links to register for future webinars.
