JHSON Virtual Nursing Grand Rounds: U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps: America’s Health Responders

The Johns Hopkins School of Nursing in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Nurses' Alumni Association, will offer a monthly Virtual Nursing Grand Rounds Continuing Nursing Education Series, providing an educational program led by top researchers from around the world.

In this month’s grand rounds, Rear Admiral Aisha Mix will discuss the difference between the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) and PHS Commissioned Corps Nursing, outline the federal capabilities of the PHS and the role of PHS nurses during disasters or public health emergencies and describe current challenges and opportunities for public health nursing.

The Virtual Nursing Grand Rounds Series will offer attendees one free education credit upon completion of a post-event quiz after each session, with the goal of fulfilling the JHSON’s mission of providing lifelong learning for health care professionals within the community. 

The Virtual Nursing Grand Rounds Series is sponsored by the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing Center for Cardiovascular and Chronic Care, and the Johns Hopkins Nurses' Alumni Association. The Center for Cardiovascular and Chronic Care works to significantly reduce cardiovascular health disparities through community engagement, scientific investigation, education, and policy initiatives. The Johns Hopkins Nurses' Alumni Association builds upon the foundation laid by generations of Hopkins nurses, sponsoring programs, preserving history and connecting alumni.
