title: Think Competencies, Not Hours, When Planning Your Next Education Initiative.
abstract: As the focus of health care is shifting from organization-centered to patient-centered care, education is also adjusting to new models that are more learner centered. Nursing professional development experts can benefit from the work that has been conducted in higher education and in professional development in teaching and medicine, where using competency based education is increasingly the norm.
