The Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing is embarking on a strategic academic planning process to inform the future direction of the Faculty and shape how we continue to be a leader in nursing education, research and practice. This process is part of the University of Toronto’s quality assurance practices or UTQAP.
Our goal is to ensure a transparent and collaborative consultation process with our community of students, faculty, alumni, staff, and external partners to inform Bloomberg Nursing’s vision, priorities and implementation plan consistent with the University’s aims, and which covers the full scope of our divisional activities across teaching, research, enrolment, government advocacy, financial resource development and capital plans.
Below you will find key details about the process, resources on academic planning, and opportunities to provide feedback.
