A new Clemson certificate program will educate practicing nurses and other design professionals about the design of healthcare facilities, according to an article on the Clemson website.
Director of the Clemson School of Nursing and Chief Academic Nursing Officer Kathleen Valentine and one of the school’s professors, Susan O’Hara, founded the Clemson University Academy of Nursing Excellence in Design in 2017.
The Academy of Nursing Excellence is a virtual entity that connects scholars, educators, researchers and professionals to advance the science of healthcare design and nurse leadership in the healthcare design industry.
The new Leadership & Innovation in Health + Design Certificate program was created for practicing nurses as well as new architects interested in the healthcare design field. It will be a 12 credit hour online program with 45 hours of fieldwork over two years.
