Kimberly Sanders, Pharm.D., BCPS of the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy has been selected as a fellow for the Duke-Johnson & Johnson Nurse Leadership Program.
The Duke-Johnson & Johnson Nurse Leadership Program, a 10-month experience, is a partnership between Duke University School of Medicine, Duke University School of Nursing and Johnson & Johnson.
The program provides leadership development for advanced practice nurses and their team partners to develop and launch transformational health improvement initiatives within their organizations and communities. Selected fellows start the program in August 2020 and will participate in virtual leadership retreats, web conferences, project mentoring circles, individual executive coaching sessions, and an array of other distance-based learning activities.
Sanders is an assistant professor in the School’s Division of Practice Advancement and Clinical Education and has a shared appointment as an assistant professor in the Department of Dental Ecology at the UNC Adams School of Dentistry.
“As a clinical pharmacist and academic, I am very excited for this novel interprofessional practice collaboration and the structure of the Duke-Johnson & Johnson Nurse Leadership Program to build it out,” Sanders said. “It is a unique opportunity to expand use of interprofessional education and practice principles in clinical sites across North Carolina in a more wholistic approach as well as benefit the educational opportunities for our students across health disciplines.”
The leadership program will provide each fellow with the leadership and management skills required to effectively address the needs of their communities – especially those of vulnerable populations – and to become change agents within their practice settings and the evolving healthcare environment.
