Healthcare is evolving—and nursing education is evolving with it. Vanderbilt University School of Nursing and HealthStream have partnered to launch a transformative new library of microlearning courses designed to make professional growth more accessible, relevant, and holistic.

These short, focused courses—created by Vanderbilt faculty experts—empower nurses to explore topics like trauma-informed communication, planetary and cellular wellness, healthy aging, and motivational approaches to patient behavior change. Each microlearning is evidence-based, practical, and aligned with Vanderbilt’s philosophy of prevention and whole-person care.
