Learning Objective 1: discuss the programs which constitute STTI's International Leadership Institute and how they promote nursing leadership in practice, education, research, and administration.
Learning Objective 2: delineate how specific programs of STTI's International Leadership Institute may be applicable to the participant's professional interests and career trajectory.
As nursing professionals build, manage, and advance their careers, the ability to lead is inextricably connected to their career choices. The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International's (STTI) International Leadership Institute (ILI) prepares future leaders in professional nursing for positions in practice, education, research, administration, and health care policy development. The ILI's programs include the Leadership Academy, which prepares STTI Chapter leaders; the Mentored Leadership Program, which prepares leaders for diverse positions in nursing; the Board Leadership Development Program, which prepares nurse leaders for positions on national and international boards; the Geriatric Nurse Leadership Academy, which prepares geriatric nurses, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse practitioners to care for the aging population and develop health care policies; the Maternal Child Health Leadership Academy, which prepares nurses to influence clinical outcomes and patient outcomes; and the Writing for Successful Abstracts program which prepares nurses to write abstracts for research grant proposals and presentations. Mentorship is a key to preparing nurses for leadership roles in all areas. This presentation will discuss all of the aforementioned STTI leadership programs, their objectives, curricula, and expected outcomes. As nursing professionals plan for a future global health care delivery system, STTI will play a significant role in the preparation of nursing leaders. As the healthcare needs of the world's people evolve, the responsibilities of nurse leaders must evolve as well.
