Jane Kirschling, dean of the College of Nursing and Health Professions, has been named one of 15 nursing executives nationwide selected to participate in the Robert Wood Johnson Executive Nurse Fellows Program. The three-year fellowship program is designed to develop leaders for the changing health care system.
The program was established in 1998 to help nursing executives gain the experiences
and skills necessary to achieve leadership positions while remaining with their
current employers. Each fellowship includes $45,000 to be spent over three years
to support self-directed learning activities, independent study, and access
to an electronic communications network. Another component of the program requires
each fellow to undertake a high-level project in their home institution.
The program is directed by the Center for Health Professions at the University
of California, San Francisco.
Kirschling, who came to USM as dean last fall, was one of 74 applicants for
the fellowship.
