Faculty and learners have published research in Quality Advancement in Nursing Education – Avancées en formation infirmière (QANE-AFI), an open-access journal. The publication, titled Identifying Priorities for Pre-licensure Nursing Curriculum to Care for People with IDD, reflects several years of work which included Algonquin College students and support from the Applied Research Office, with funding provided by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
