Why Becoming a Certified Global Nurse Matters More Than Ever: A Conversation on the Future of Global Nursing with Dr. Peter Preziosi

The future of nursing is global—and this conversation took center stage at the 7th Edition of the NEAC RoadMap Program, where NEAC Medical Exams Application Center, in partnership with TruMerit, brought together healthcare professionals for an important discussion on the Certified Global Nurse™ (CGN) credential and its growing relevance in today’s evolving global healthcare landscape. NEAC is the Exclusive CGN/NQE Reseller Partner of TruMerit in the Philippines.

Held on August 26, 2026, and broadcast live through Facebook, the webinar featured Dr. Peter Preziosi, CEO of TruMerit, who led an insightful discussion on the importance of globally benchmarked competencies, why it was created, the role of the Nurse Qualifying Exam (NQE), and how the CGN credential can strengthen a nurse’s professional profile and support global career readiness.

Dr. Elbe Akman, Founder and CEO of NEAC, joined the session as an honorary guest speaker, emphasizing a critical message: preparation matters. Drawing from the strengths of the Philippine healthcare workforce, Dr. Akman highlighted how Filipino healthcare professionals have demonstrated a strong culture of preparedness, adaptability, and professional excellence—qualities that can serve as a model for healthcare professionals around the world.

During the Q&A, Jason Richter of TruMerit further explored the CGN credential and addressed key questions from the audience, while Stephen Gaus delivered an inspiring message recognizing the exceptional quality and potential of Filipino healthcare professionals on the global stage.

But the webinar was about more than introducing a new credential.

It was a call for nurses to rethink what it means to be prepared for a global career.

In an increasingly competitive healthcare workforce, professional growth goes beyond obtaining a license. It means continuously developing competencies, demonstrating professional excellence, and pursuing opportunities for recognition beyond borders.
