    Federica Sorrentino

    The University of Parma took part in the 4th International Congress of the EEAP: Global Perspectives of Nursing for the Challenges of the Millennium, held in Rio de Janeiro to celebrate the 135th anniversary of the founding of the Alfredo Pinto School of Nursing (EEAP) at the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO).

    The event, officially endorsed by the University, brought together academics, professionals, and students from various countries, offering an important opportunity for discussion on global perspectives in nursing and on the healthcare challenges of the new millennium. It focused on education, research, and international cooperation as key levers for developing a fairer, more inclusive, and innovative healthcare system.

    Representing the University of Parma and its Master’s Programs in Healthcare, Professor Antonio Bonacaro, Associate Professor of Nursing Sciences and Director of the Master’s Programs in Healthcare, shared experiences and best practices from the Italian context, contributing reflections on the role of nursing leadership in transforming healthcare systems.
    “Taking part in this event – he said – means not only celebrating the long and prestigious history of the Alfredo Pinto School of Nursing, but also laying new foundations for an international dialogue that is increasingly essential in nursing education and research. Only through exchange and global cooperation can we meet shared challenges and promote a form of nursing capable of innovating, including, and improving the health of our communities”.

    The University’s participation further strengthened its relationship with the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro and the Alfredo Pinto School of Nursing, with which collaborative teaching and research projects are already underway on topics such as advanced training, clinical simulation, and digital health.

    The presence of the University of Parma at such a significant event reaffirms the international vocation of its Master’s Programs in Healthcare, which have long been committed to promoting the growth of healthcare professionals capable of combining scientific competence, global vision, and ethical responsibility.
