Navigating Complexity to Advance Outcomes - A Call to Action from the Nexus Summit 2024

This session will synthesize learnings from Nexus Summit 2024 from the perspective of the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education, the Nexus Distinguished Scholars, and the National Center’s Patient Advisors and Patient Responders.

Through engagement during the Nexus Summit, participants will contribute to identifying the most pressing issues and opportunities facing the field, which will inform the National Center’s strategic priorities for the coming year. The session will conclude with a call to action for each of us to work locally and nationally to advance our shared goals to drive health and learning outcomes that matter most for the learners and individuals, families, and communities that we serve.

We will also take time to celebrate the accomplishments of our colleagues with special recognition for our Barbara F. Brand Leadership Award, George E. Thibault Nexus Award, and AIHC Professional and Student Awards.
