Developing Tomorrow's Nursing Informatics Leaders
One of ANI’s objectives is to identify leadership, provide mentorship, and encourage nursing informatics participation in national nursing informatics activities. As part of the ANI Nursing Informatics Emerging Leaders Program, ANI pairs two mentors with each mentee to counterbalance strengths and weaknesses (such as academic research and practice) and provide two different points of views/perspective. This approach is beneficial to the mentee’s project work, as well as developing both local and national leadership skill.
Mentor Guidelines
Applications for the 2024 Emerging Leaders Program will open in the fall of 2023. Selection of mentors should start with the goals of the mentee and find mentors that have backgrounds that are suitable to the desired project.
