Aug. 1 — Professor publishes article on innovative bootcamp
Shu-Fen Wung, a professor at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, published the article, “Innovation-Based Learning for Nursing Innovation: A Descriptive Program Evaluation of an Interdisciplinary Future of Nursing Bootcamp,” in Advancing Medical-Surgical Nursing. This Future of Nursing (FuN) Bootcamp demonstrated that an intensive five-day interdisciplinary Innovation-Based Learning program can equip nurses with innovation skills, bringing together 18 participants from nursing, biomedical engineering and design to develop five prototype solutions addressing challenges such as nurse burnout and electronic health record workflows. Post-program evaluations showed that 90% of participants found the experience worthwhile and highlighted the value of a structured approach that emphasized stakeholder research and problem framing as foundations for innovation.
