Cette ann�e, � l'ACESI, nous sommes fi�res d'accueillir Patricia Brenner comme conf�renci�re principale.

Sa plus r�cente, Educating Nurses: A Call for Radical Transformation (former des infirmi�res : appel � une transformation radicale), provoque une r�action semblable par rapport aux sciences infirmi�res en milieu universitaire
