The International Society of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses (ISPN) will honor Professor Heeyoung Lee, PhD, PMHNP-BCC, FAAN, with the Education Award.
“The award validates my efforts and contribution to nursing education but also motivates me to continue committing to advancing mental health nursing education,” Lee said.
The ISPN Education Award “acknowledges exceptional creativity and effectiveness in curriculum development, teaching strategies, student recruitment and support, educational outreach, or other activities by a psychiatric-mental health nurse educator viewed as a mentor and role model by colleagues and students” according to the organization.
“I want to leverage this recognition to promote The University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program and recruit talented nurses who want to pursue their career in mental health care,” Lee said.
In April, Lee will be recognized at the ISPN Annual Conference in Providence, Rhode Island.
