Northwest Area Health Education Center (NW AHEC) has recently partnered with the North Carolina Alliance for Health Professions Diversity (NCAHPD) for funding and hiring of a Statewide Project Manager to foster the program and its mission for North Carolina. Immanuel Bryant has been hired to fill the role of Project Manager for NC Alliance for Health Professions Diversity and will work as a logistical leader providing part-time project management (20 hours/week).

Learn new, effective skills from the Brenner FIT® experts in pediatric obesity to help your patients and their families make positive health changes in a safe, family-centered way.

This partnership strategy serves as a viable strategy to provide professional development to experienced registered nurses. Without enough nurse educators to teach the increasing number of nurses that are needed, the health of North Carolina residents is at stake. Northwest AHEC has been collaborating for 16 years with key partners, Novant Health, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist and our local Forsyth County based nursing academic programs at Forsyth Technical Community College and Winston-Salem State University’s School of Health Sciences’ Nursing Program. Together we have educated 420 active nurses to potentially serve as Clinical Teaching Associates to precept nursing students. Join us this December for the next workshop!
