In response to the April 2003 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report titled Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality, the author assesses the report in light of the present education of professional nurses. While current educational approaches have merit, the plans under way to develop new curricula and programs are in keeping with the IOM recommendations. She also cites the importance of reform in nursing practice environments if nursing education strategies are to have a meaningful impact. The report notes that nursing graduates must possess competencies in five core areas. These are the following: the ability to deliver patient-centered care, work as amember of an interdisciplinary team, engage in evidencedbased practice, apply quality im-provement approaches, and use information technology. Additionally, the report calls on accreditation, licensing, and certification organ-izations to ensure that students and working professionals develop and maintain proficiency in these core areas.
