Cleveland Clinic Hosts ‘Advanced Practice Nursing Pharmacology’ Event

Cleveland Clinic’s highly popular Advanced Practice Nursing Pharmacology course is now available throughout August and September 2017.

An important educational asset to advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) in Northeast Ohio, the sought-after course is designed to educate advanced practice nurses, advanced practice nursing students and other healthcare professionals on the latest guidelines and key topics of interest in pharmacology.

“As advanced practice nurses are increasingly at the forefront of patient treatment recommendations, the need to stay up-to-date on current pharmacology treatment strategies is more important than ever,” said Cleveland Clinic’s executive director and associate chief nursing officer of advanced practice nursing, Meredith Lahl, MSN, PCNS-BC, PPCNP-BC, CPON. “This course offers participants insight into the latest advances in pharmacology, thus enabling them to provide their patients with the most innovative care available.”
