This powerpoint presentation is a brief overview for individuals that are unfamiliar with the IOM/QSEN competencies and wish to introduce ideas that promote development of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that support the competencies.

Faculty have found this presentation helpful as they learn about the IOM/QSEN competencies and as they share information with their students. Each semester the presentation is updated to include more information and resources. This powerpoint presentation is introduced in the Fundamentals of Nursing course but is also available to each course in our curriculum as faculty have found that there are variations in each course of how the information and the web link resources can be utilized.
