    Internationally renowned nurse scientists, scholars, and other nursing professionals will gather in Miami September 5-7 for the XIII Pan American Nursing Research Colloquium, a biennial gathering of nurse leaders, researchers, and students from across the Americas, Europe, and around the world that is being presented by the University of Miami’s School of Nursing and Health Studies.

    “Global Nursing Research Challenges for the Millennium” is the theme of the 2012 colloquium. Past colloquiums have attracted well over 800 participants.

    “The University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies is honored to present this prestigious global colloquium,” said nursing school dean Nilda Peragallo, noting that the event’s location is “a particularly appropriate venue, given Miami’s reputation as an international gateway to the Americas.”

    The event, which will be held at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, will bring together some of the brightest minds in the world to tackle pressing nursing research challenges of the 21st century and strengthen evidence-based nursing practice around the globe. The colloquium also will help disseminate emerging advances in research related to clinical practice, health systems, health services, and educational strategies. The colloquium aims to advance collective knowledge that supports research initiatives related to the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals.

    The colloquium will include daily keynote addresses by distinguished leaders in the field of global health and health policy, beginning with the opening address by University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala. Internationally recognized nursing experts will share their professional findings and insights during three panel discussions centered on “Nursing Research in the Americas,” “Nursing Research Funding Opportunities,” and the “Bev McElmurry Legacy Panel,” which will honor the contributions and influence of the late Beverly McElmurry to global health nursing and midwifery science.

    The colloquium will also feature scientific breakout and poster sessions as well a showcase of international health and health education-related exhibits displaying the products and work of the numerous institutions of nursing education and health care represented at the event. All conference participants will be invited to the colloquium’s welcoming and closing receptions as well as to a dinner dance in honor of nurse scientist Maricel Manfredi and her considerable professional achievements. As part of the conference festivities, the Maricel Manfredi Prize will be awarded to the author of the research paper that best exemplifies innovative, rigorous, and relevant nursing scholarship.
