The New York City Nursing Education Consortium in Technology (NYCNECT) was a 5-year, HRSA-funded program for the Faculty Development: Integrated Technology into Nursing Education and Practice Initiative. The project ran from January 2011 to December 2015.

NYCNECT built a CUNY-wide consortium of highly skilled educators and champions of innovation to improve competencies in teaching with simulation, informatics/Health IT, telehealth, and other health care and educational technologies. Consortium members completed hands-on workshops and team-based project learning experiences over an academic year, developing expertise to serve as “Transformers” at their home institutions who champion innovative pedagogies to improve learning outcomes.

NYCNECT successfully trained and supported the teaching/learning initiatives and projects of 207 faculty trainees across 13 CUNY schools and programs of nursing, leading to the culmination of 68 consortium member projects. The use of a consortium model provided opportunities for community-building, inter-campus collaboration, and information sharing among faculty and staff across CUNY.

By increasing its consortium members' expertise in simulation, informatics, and telehealth, NYCNECT supported CUNY faculty and staff in their goals to prepare students for advanced practice, improve quality of care, and reduce health disparities through the development of a highly skilled, culturally-competent health care workforce.
