The institute is directed by an executive director who also holds an endowed chair specifically titled for nurse education, innovation and research. The institute has developed an advanced leadership fellowship to move nurses into prominent healthcare and policy roles, and runs a Nursing Innovation Forum, an accredited half-day program on how nurses can use artificial intelligence, creativity and leadership to drive organizational transformation.
