Programs: Leadership Development

Program Description

The NSA provides diverse programs and learning experiences designed specifically for Kaiser Permanente nurse leaders in partnership with Kaiser Permanente nurse faculty experts and academic nursing partners. Content development includes a focus on Kaiser Permanente culture, “Total Health,” holistic professional practice models, and integrated health care strategy that includes health care administration and finance, regulatory agencies, law, labor relations, informatics, health policy, population health, quality innovation, care experience, project management, research and evidence-informed practice, joy and meaning, and theory integration to name a few.

New leader onboarding, orientation, and ongoing development are central to Kaiser Permanente’s learning culture and Magnet priorities. Our calendar of leadership programs for assistant nurse managers (ANMs), managers, directors, and nurse executives was designed in partnership with the UCSF Leadership Institute, a top-tier nursing program in the nation, as well as UC Davis, USF, and Watson Caring Science Institute.

Academy Leadership Programs are fully funded by the NSA and focus on developing current and emerging nurse leaders, and nursing professional development (NPD) leaders, and include programs on evidence-based practice (EBP) for leaders and bedside staff to support expanded learning in shared governance and research teams.

All Academy programs include hybrid options, offering flexible access to innovative learning experiences that create new possibilities for nurses from across the region to engage, connect, and learn together.
