Academic Visitors

The Faculty of Nursing has hosted many international academic visitors since 2012. These scholars are mainly at the graduate level, however, we also host many undergraduate scholars who are interested in our research intensive programs at the University of Alberta. Academic visitors are an important part of our research and academic community.
