CENTER FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF LEARNING

Fundraising at a Glance

Baptist Health’s Center for the Advancement of Learning addresses the critical and ongoing nursing shortage through innovative and enriched learning programs. Offered in Palm Beach, Miami and the Florida Keys, the Nurse Scholars Program and College of Health Sciences educate and prepare nurses to be capable, compassionate caregivers to Baptist Health’s patients and families. Lifelong learning is encouraged and supported through scholarships for advanced degrees to enhance nurses’ knowledge and expertise. These programs further Baptist Health’s mission by attracting, educating and retaining top talent among our nurse caregivers, reducing nurse vacancy and turnover rates and increasing nursing engagement and satisfaction. Baptist Health admits over 200 nurse scholars each year, but with the support of philanthropy, these programs will offer these opportunities for a greater number of qualified individuals, helping meet the growing need for nurses.

Looking to the Future

The Center for the Advancement of Learning’s vision is to develop a multidisciplinary education hub on the campus of Baptist Hospital to support medical, nursing, pharmacy and allied health education programs. This academic destination will include multipurpose classrooms, a surgical skills lab, state-of-the-art simulation training, auditoriums with international telecasting capability and much more. A high-tech educational facility with a focus on next- generation simulation-based learning will provide the Center with critical space needed to support more than 9,000 students, residents and fellows each year.
