Testimonials
Connecting to the Fuld Institute for EBP has been an opportunity to make a difference in teaching EBP to the next generation of undergraduate and graduate student nurses. As educators, we are challenged in providing meaningful instruction and motivate learners to be evidenced-based practitioners. At immersions, we learn from others in the academic and practice setting what is current practice and learn how others are implementing best practices. The ability to share with others from all over the country is invaluable. Bringing that sense of spirit and collaboration into my classroom is essential in challenging students to apply the EBP process in their own practice.

Loved it. I am so excited to start and grow into EBP and get my nurses excited and ask the question, where is the evidence? (August 2018)
- Participant Comment
The immersion was one of the most beneficial courses I have taken over the course of my career as a medical professional. What I liked most was how simplified they have made a complex process. Personally, I feel more confident and eager to dive into the research that surrounds my field of Respiratory Care. (September 2018)
- Participant Comment
This workshop is fantastic; everyone involved in health care must take this course to help improve patient outcomes.(September 2018)
- Participant Comment
Many people assume that PhD prepared clinicians and faculty have a solid understanding of teaching and translating evidence-based practice. The EBP process involves a unique set of skills –it’s not research. I think those teaching EBP would find great benefit from attending the immersion. Attending the immersion and learning this skill set has helped me to effectively translate the research literature into evidence-based practice…. The immersion solidified my role as an evidence based clinician and mentor.

This has been a great experience and I think it's something that all those involved in Leadership roles should "have to attend", no matter where you work in healthcare! (August 2018)
- Participant Comment
The immersion training was one of the best learning experiences I've ever had (and I'm almost a DNP!). The presenters were excellent and made learning the material fun and exciting. After taking this course I feel well-prepared to come implement EBP in my organization. (September 2018)
