LaToya Brown, DNP, BSN, APRN, AGPCNP-C

During the graduate teaching program at Wayne State University, LaToya Brown acquired experience with learning how to lead a class and outline discussion; leading a lecture; writing exam questions and developing a test blueprint; recording of lectures; and participation in skills and simulation lab with first, second, and third-year nursing students at the undergraduate level.  Throughout the graduate clinical courses, LaToya thoroughly reviewed and worked through multiple case studies and developed a PowerPoint presentation to present to fellow colleagues at the graduate level.  As a registered nurse, LaToya gained experience with mentoring nursing students on two different units at Michigan Medicine, as well as precepting of new nurses.  The pedagogy that embodies UMSN is “collaborative”, because it helps the students learn how to work with others collectively to prepare them to work with other healthcare providers as they enter the nursing field.
