The Nursing Professional Development Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Academy is a 12-month mentored program designed to guide the NPD practitioner through creating PICOT questions, gathering and critically appraising literature, and EBP implementation, evaluation, dissemination, and sustainment. Participation in the EBP Academy enhances the evidence-based competencies of nursing professional development practitioners to enable them to fulfill their role as champions of scientific inquiry and mentor other healthcare professionals in the implementation of EBP practices.
The Academy consists of two live webinars and 26 asynchronous modules. In addition, participants complete one overall EBP initiative at their organization over the course of the year. Participants are encouraged to submit abstracts to share their EBP initiative outcomes at the ANPD Aspire Convention.
