MGH Institute of Health Professions Application
About MGH Institute of Health Professions
- The MGH Institute of Health Professions was established to meet the demand for master clinicians, healthcare leaders shaped by the combination of theory and clinical practice in an interdisciplinary setting. Based on the principles of Florence Nightingale, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) established one of the first schools of nursing in 1873, the Boston Training School for Nurses, which later became the Massachusetts General Hospital Training School for Nurses in 1896, and later, the Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing.
- This diploma school was the oldest continually running school of nursing in the United States when it closed in 1981, and it was the forerunner to the MGH Institute’s School of Nursing.
- The MGH Institute’s educational programs were initially formed through on-site clinical training activities, as many health care professions arose from hospital-based demands.
- The transition from hospital-based to college- and university-based health science education produced a number of challenges, including a lack of synergy between clinical and didactic parts of health care curricula.
