Our Evidence-Based Practice conference focuses on the nurses on the front line who actually provide the care, regardless of setting. Posters should relate to the purpose and themes of the conference and must be completed projects that staff nurses could realistically carry out.

Nursing Outreach is the primary educational outreach arm of the MU Sinclair School of Nursing. For nearly 50 years, the fully accredited Nursing Outreach program has been a leader in providing high quality and affordable lifelong learning opportunities for Missouri’s registered nurses, regardless of their specialty, practice setting, affiliation, academic preparation or geographic location. Both alone, and in partnership with a number of organizations, the office provides face-to-face, Web-based and telecommunicated educational program for nurses and other health-care professionals throughout Missouri and beyond. Increasing numbers of non-nursing health care providers and out-of-state participants attend Nursing Outreach activities.
Learning is more than listening to lectures. Nursing Outreach uses the latest simulation technology to assist learners in sharpening their "hands-on" skills to remain clinically competent. Demonstration of a human simulator at the 13th Annual Nursing Educators Conference held in Columbia.
In 2008 we served nurses from 87 (76 percent) of Missouri’s 114 counties and the city of St. Louis attended continuing education (CE) programs sponsored by Nursing Outreach.
In addition to Nursing Outreach’s own educational activities, which attracted 1,725 nurses and other healthcare providers, Nursing Outreach provided CE credit to another 1,194 nurses attending CE programs offered by the School of Medicine.
Many of Nursing Outreach’s programs are multidisciplinary and are offered through cooperative relationships with such groups as the MU Health Care’s Center for Education and Development, MU School of Medicine Continuing Medical Education (CME), Office of Compliance and Quality, Missouri Institute of Mental Health, Center for Health Care Quality, Center for Health Policy, and Center for Health Ethics.
Consistent with the School of Nursing’s focus on rural health care, Nursing Outreach serves a predominantly rural audience. Approximately nine out of every ten Missouri nurses who attend non-credit educational programs are from outside the metropolitan St. Louis and Kansas City areas. In addition to Missouri counties, Nursing Outreach attracted participants from 10 other states.
