As an accredited Provider of Nursing Continuing Professional Development, CPD demonstrates a commitment to delivering high-quality continuing education.
The Centre for Professional Development at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing was granted accreditation as a provider of Nursing Continuing Professional Development (NCPD) in October, by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Commission on Accreditation. This designation demonstrates CPD’s commitment to lifelong learning and use of evidence-based criteria to develop and deliver high-quality educational activities that promote the professional growth of nurses.
With this accreditation, CPD is now one of only three accredited organizations in Canada, joining an influential global community. This credential is an acknowledgement of the high-quality of teaching and learning experiences offered by CPD for nurses, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals. Bloomberg Nursing’s CPD develops a range of relevant up-to-date courses and certificate programs to meet identified practice gaps, enabling individual learners and healthcare organizations to achieve quality outcomes for those they serve. Through a flexible hybrid delivery model, learners gain essential knowledge, skills, and confidence without geographical barriers, allowing CPD’s instructors to share their expertise with professional nurses working in diverse healthcare settings across Canada and beyond.
NCPD accreditation from ANCC elevates CPD’s educational offerings and their benefit to nurses, and the patients and communities they serve, by:
- Promoting the highest professional standards to sustain effective strategies that improve professional nursing practice
- Improving curricula for nurses to provide evidence-based education that strengthens professional development programs
- Increasing credibility to adhere to evidence-based, global standards that deliver quality, professional education
- Expanding visibility to be included among other accredited organizations that are listed in a nationwide, searchable directory
- Increasing demand to offer continuing professional development contact hours that are essential to building professional portfolios, and maintaining certification and accreditation from ANCC and other licensing boards and regulatory bodies
The ANCC Accreditation Model is based on the original Donabedian framework of structure, process, and outcome measures to evaluate quality. The ANCC standards provide organizations with a structured, evidence-based framework to design and implement NCPD activities. The development of quality outcomes ensures that accredited organizations continuously evaluate processes and their impact on the professional development of nurses.
