Not sure about how to offer an IFNA webinar?

If you have a topic to share, contact Debbie Zaparoni at debbie@internationalfamilynursing.org and she will walk you through the process, which is very simple. Webinars in any language are welcome. Topics for webinars may include teaching tips and resources, research methods you have found helpful and how to implement them, theoretical insights and applications for family nursing, or other topics you wish to share.

Check out the Family Nursing Education Resources page of the IFNA website to interact with other family nursing educators!

Forum topics right now include: feedback on the redesigned IFNA website, strategies for teaching family nursing, teaching collaborative helping maps, family nursing education round table webinar (for questions to ask our panel), and educator exchanges.
