ASU College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation is on the move! The nationally/internationally recognized Center for the Advancement of Evidence-based Practice is part of a new bold strategic plan centering on the development of innovative evidence-based strategies for improving healthcare outcomes, cutting-edge educational programs, and pioneering research to test effective strategies to improve quality of healthcare for culturally diverse, high-risk populations. The College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation at ASU is an inclusive world-class enterprise of discovery that prepares innovative, evidence-based healthcare providers, educators, leaders and researchers to optimize health in a culturally diverse global community. The ASU College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation is the state’s largest producer of nurses with Bachelor of Science & Master’s degrees, and newly established Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice degrees.
Under the guidance of Dean Bernadette Melnyk and Director Ellen Fineout-Overholt, the Center for the Advancement of Evidence-based Practice (CAEP) has been involved in advancing EBP across the United States and the globe. These national and global initiatives are part of President Dr. Michael Crow’s New American University. The CAEP has the privilege of working with several healthcare systems and colleges throughout the state of Arizona and internationally to advance healthcare outcomes. Arizona State University is one of the premier metropolitan research universities in the nation and enrolls more than 63,000 students on four campuses in metropolitan Phoenix. With more than 325 days of annual sunshine, the area has many year-round cultural activities.
As a result of the tremendous increase in initiatives generated from the CAEP, we are launching a national search for an Associate Director, Center for the Advancement of Evidence-based Practice.
