The College of Nursing has an accredited provider program director, who works with faculty to provide contact hours for continuing education events. UIC College of Nursing also provides the opportunity for faculty and staff to become nurse planners, who can plan, implement and evaluate a continuing education event. Topics for a continuing nurse education event include nursing leadership, clinical and practice-related topics, nursing skills, and relevant book clubs related to health ethics and nursing history.

Continuing education is a tool to help enrich and deepen our academic relationship with faculty, students, alumni and nurses nationwide.

Educational offerings include in-person activities, virtual live and enduring material, and symposiums.
