The Marjory Gordon Program for Clinical Reasoning and Knowledge Development is a global initiative between NANDA International and the Connell School of Nursing that began in 2017.
The Boston College Connell School of Nursing and NANDA-I Partnership
The aim of the program is to advance, educate, and disseminate nursing knowledge internationally and foster a deeper understanding for the articulation of nursing’s contribution to patient, family, and community care outcomes through clinical reasoning and the testing and refinement of nursing language (nursing diagnosis).
Through online educational programs and biennial conferences, nurses have the opportunity to participate in the advancement of nursing knowledge and engage in dialogue around clinical reasoning and the communication of nursing judgments about patients using nursing diagnosis. And each year, the International Gordon Scholars Program welcomes post-doctoral scholars to Boston College to participate in academic inquiry with local and international mentors and experts.
It is hoped that these experiences will foster dialogue among nurses and other professionals and uncover nursing knowledge that will influence education, change professional practice, impact health policy, and help shape the future of nursing research.
