to FSU Health<\/a>, the university\u2019s integrated academic health system. The College of Medicine and College of Nursing are foundational to that mission, working alongside IDHI and CTBScience to advance education, research and innovation across FSU Health.<\/p>\n\u201cThe promise of this work is ultimately measured in the care this will bring into people\u2019s lives,\u201d said Lisa Hightow-Weidman, distinguished and endowed McKenzie professor, associate dean for research, founding director of the Institute on Digital Health and Innovation, and co-principal investigator. \u201cDigital health and AI can extend high-quality care to communities that need additional resources, but only if these tools are built and tested with real patients in mind. There is no better place to do that than IDHI, where we bring together the technology, the science and the deep clinical understanding needed to turn innovation into healthier communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
The program is led by three multiple principal investigators \u2014 Hightow-Weidman, Wang and CTBScience founding director Sylvie Naar \u2014 whose combined expertise spans nursing science, digital health technology, health promotion, community engagement, translational behavioral science and implementation science.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe FSU College of Medicine and the Center for Translational Behavioral Science are thrilled to help train the next generation of nurse researchers in AI and digital health, grounded in community-engaged dissemination and implementation science,\u201d said Naar, also a distinguished endowed professor in the College of Medicine. \u201cBy placing fellows across IDHI and CTBScience, NURTURe reinforces the close collaboration between our two colleges.\u201d<\/p>\n
NURTURe draws its mentorship team from across the FSU College of Nursing and the FSU College of Medicine.<\/p>\n
