Introducing Friday's Keynote Speaker Dr. Roy L. Simpson!

Roy L. Simpson, DNP, RN, DPNAP, FAAN, FACMI, is the assistant dean Data Science and professor at the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing.

Dr. Simpson has been a pioneering force in nursing for more than five decades and stands as a beacon of innovation and leadership in our field. He broke barriers as a male nurse in an era when men were barely visible in our profession.

His success opened doors for others and demonstrated that excellence in nursing leadership has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with clinical expertise, strategic vision, and commitment to patient care.

Roy created entirely new pathways for nursing practice through his establishment of nursing informatics as a recognized clinical specialty. In the early 1990s, he cowrote the scope of practice that established nursing informatics and led the successful petition for ANA certification in 1992.

This achievement created an entirely new career pathway for nurses and positioned our profession at the forefront of healthcare innovation. Today, nurse informaticians serve as Chief Information Officers and lead technology implementation in every major healthcare system.

Meet and learn from Dr. Simpson at The Future of Nursing: Courageous Transformations.

Register today!
