International Family Nursing Association (IFNA) members are advancing family nursing through their innovations in research, education, practice, and policy. Preconference Workshops and Expert Lectures provide an opportunity for all of us to benefit from recent advances in the field.
The Conference Committee invites submissions of applications for offering a Preconference Workshop or Expert Lecture at the 14th International Family Nursing Conference (August 2019). The application should be submitted in English. Priority will be given to those who address the conference theme.
- Preconference Workshop: Preconference workshops provide attendees with an opportunity to undertake in-depth examination of a family nursing research, practice, education, or policy topic. Workshops are an opportunity for presenters to share didactic information and implement interactive strategies and discussions to engage participants. All workshops are half-day sessions. Workshops will be held on Tuesday, August 13th. We anticipate having three morning (9:00a – 11:30a) and three afternoon (1:00p – 3:30p) workshops. Each Pre-conference workshop will receive up to two waived IFNC14 Conference Registration fees per group of presenters.
- Expert Lecture: Expert lectures provide didactic content on a focused topic related to family nursing research, education, or practice (e.g., synthesis of family research, family content in education courses or programs, family research methodology, family health or family nursing policy development, developing a family consultation service, etc.). We expect to have six expert lectures (each 1 hour) presented during two concurrent sessions. Lecturers will receive one waived IFNC14 Conference Registration fee.
