Wisconsin Statewide Clinical Placement Summit

Meeting the Challenges of the Expanding Clinical Nursing Opportunities
 April 11, 2007

Purpose: Assuring an adequate supply of well-educated and well-trained health professionals is essential for the health of the people of Wisconsin, and will require the collaboration of both academic institutions and health care provider organizations.  Many organizations have been working to encourage more students to pursue careers in the health care field, and that effort is yielding significant results, but expanding the capacity of Wisconsin's health professions programs to educate those students and provide them with appropriate clinical training opportunities in not a simple task.

Gather with other health care stakeholders who are interested in the issue of appropriate clinical placements at Wisconsin's Statewide Clinical Placement Summit and learn what others are doing and how to begin efforts in your region.

This took place on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Richard T. Anderson Education Center, Waukesha County Technical College campus, Pewaukee, Wisconsin.
