The University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) and Penn School of Nursing are both part of the University of Pennsylvania and are uniquely poised to advance the University's scholarship, practice, and service missions. The University of Pennsylvania's Academic Practice Partnership (APP) exists to bring together the unique strengths of the School of Nursing and UPHS Nursing and apply them to common goals.
As the top ranked nursing school in the world, Penn Nursing is at the forefront of advancing nursing science, promoting equity across the profession, and preparing the next-generation of leaders in nursing. Penn Nursing’s capabilities elevate nursing practice at Penn Medicine, provide education and professional development opportunities for Penn Medicine nurses, and serve as a pipeline for new talent.
As a globally-renowned academic health system, Penn Medicine provides the very best in nursing practice by leading efforts to translate science into nursing practice, providing evidence-based holistic care that addresses each patient’s unique needs, and creating an environment of empowerment and accountability. Penn Medicine’s capabilities increase Penn Nursing’s capacity for research and education programs by providing clinical practice sites, providing research sites, and informing curriculum development.
Both parties seek to further advance the profession of nursing through shared governance and engagement, nurse-led research, workforce development, evidence-based practice, innovation, and community engagement.
On behalf of Penn Nursing’s Office of School and Community Engagement and Penn Medicine’s Center for Addiction Medicine and Policy, we are excited to invite you to our upcoming Narcan and Harm Reduction Educational Training on Wednesday, June 17th, 2026.
