The F W. Bert and Mae Dean Wheeler Nurse Leadership Academy will “train the next generation of oncology nurse leaders,” according to a March 5 news release from MD Anderson. 

The academy’s curriculum will be created in collaboration with MD Anderson’s Leadership Institute with an emphasis on longitudinal learning, the release said.

At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
