Empowering Nursing Leaders to Shape the Economics of Care
FINE Fellowship Overview
The Fellowship in Nursing Economics (FINE) educates the next generation of nursing leaders in the economic power and influence of nursing care—equipping them to engage in reimbursement, payment reform, and healthcare system decision-making.
Through applied learning, expert mentorship, and project-based work, FINE helps nursing leaders translate clinical expertise into economic insight that informs policy, strengthens healthcare sustainability, and advances the value of nursing across care settings.
