The Phillips School of Nursing at Mount Sinai Beth Israel has earned the National League of Nursing’s prestigious designation as a “Center of Excellence in Nursing Education™ for the years 2018-2022. This is the School’s second consecutive designation as a Center of Excellence in the category of “Enhancing Student Learning and Professional Development.” Phillips School of Nursing was one of just 12 schools selected nationwide to receive the honor in that category this year.
Under the leadership of Dr. Todd F. Ambrosia, Dean, a series of new initiatives have been developed that enhance student learning in critical thinking and evidence-based practice.
The New York City-based National League of Nursing invites schools to apply for Center of Excellence status based on their demonstrated sustained excellence in faculty development, nursing education research, or student learning and professional development. Schools must also have a proven commitment to continuous quality improvement. The designation is designed to acknowledge those schools of nursing and health care organizations that have achieved a level of excellence in a specific area. Through public recognition and distinction, the program acknowledges the outstanding innovations, commitment, and sustainability of excellence these organizations convey.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from the NLN,” said Dr. Todd F. Ambrosia, Dean. “I’m extremely proud of the faculty, staff and students as we continue the legacy of excellence this educational institution established over 114 years ago.”
