title: NI Continuing Education: Replicating a U.S. Model in Other Countries?
abstract: The need for nursing informatics continuing education is ongoing as informatics nurses and informatics nurse specialists are expected to be lifelong learners. This tutorial will explore how a very successful U.S. model, Weekend Immersion in Nursing Informatics (WINI), might be considered for replication in other countries. Details about the initial course design, presentation content outline, and sustainability will be shared. Participant input and discussion will be an integral component of this tutorial. The target audience includes informatics nurses, professional development and academic faculty, and those interprofessional informatics education programs.
