Abstract

Abstract: In the decade since the Institute of Medicine published the Future of Nursing report, the development of a pipeline of doctorally prepared nursing leaders proficient in research, leadership, teaching, and practice has been one of great successes. The investment of Jonas Philanthropies, in collaboration with donors and foundation partners, has supported scholarships to more than 1,000 scholars nationwide. Scholars are prepared to lead health care reform in education, practice, and leadership. This article shares four examples of creative approaches to teaching health policy with students and professionals who may inspire similarly creative approaches to prepare future health policy leaders.
