Biography
Biography: Nancy Peifer Neil
Abstract
MCE (MIDAS Clinical Education) is a unique system of creative patient education focused on providing educational content based upon a person’s learning strengths, preferences and lifestyle. MCE is patient centered, recognizes and encourages the need for individual diversity in education as well as the importance of collaboration among all health care professionals and consumers. Educational content is based upon the latest evidence based practice. MCE does not take the place of health care provider instructions, but rather enhances the instruction and works with the health care provider to present the highest quality educational experience for each person.
A MCE pilot study was done through the CDC Wise Woman program and Clemson University with positive results. The participants enjoyed focusing educational content upon their learning strengths and many stated they felt “empowered” and “smart”.
MCE is co-created and partnered by a nurse educator, Dr. Nancy Peifer Neil, with 33 years’ experience in the critical care clinical area and a world-renowned educator, Dr. Branton Shearer, known as the world’s top expert in Multiple Intelligences assessment.
An MCE workshop would provide each participant the opportunity to identify their own learning strengths and to create material that is easy and fun to work with. Each participant will be given a free copy of our new handbook, as well as a link to our website to review additional content. Our content is downloadable, free and can be customized for any health care settings, hospitals, offices, and clinics.
