Nursing Preceptor Education Program Re-Launches
 To support nursing leadership, Lunder-Dineen in collaboration with a statewide team of nurse leaders, developed and launched the Maine Nursing Preceptor Education Program. Since the program launched in 2015, more than 300 nurses, from over 50 organizations in Maine have completed the program.
The 2017 program launched statewide earlier this month with 200 nurses participating. We are fortunate to be partnering with the University of New England, Biddeford and University of Maine, Orono as sites for the live workshop component of the program this year. Additionally, we are pleased to be awarding program graduates a Nurse Preceptor pin (pictured above). We look forward to working with the Nursing Preceptor Advisory Team, 2017 Faculty and Presenters, and our newest cohort of learners this spring.

We are grateful to the Maine Osteopathic Association and Dr. Nesin and Dr. Smith for their time, expertise, and partnership in raising awareness about unhealthy alcohol use through meaningful conversations with patients in primary care settings.
