Overview

The Clinical Faculty Academy is a two-day training program designed for practicing nurses who are interested in or have been identified as strong candidates for a teaching role to be trained for the role of a clinical instructor. As a clinical educator, you can help train the next generation of nurses. Through this program, you will gain knowledge and skills essential for success in an adjunct clinical faculty role; a support network for adjunct clinical educators; and stronger connections between clinical practice sites and academic environments. Continuing nursing education hours will be offered. Participants must attend the program in its entirety to receive contact hours.

Objectives

Through the Clinical Faculty Academy, participants will:

    • distinguish between clinical judgment, clinical reasoning and critical thinking
    • outline strategies to reduce risk in your faculty role by summarizing FERPA and HIPAA
    • summarize the use of learning outcomes in a clinical setting and strategies to facilitate learning
    • compare selected clinical evaluation tools used in nursing education
    • discuss the importance of positive student-faculty relationships

Day 2

    • explain the purposes of pre- and post-clinical conferences
    • develop an initial philosophy of teaching
    • develop self-awareness of your own personal characteristics that will facilitate developing positive faculty-student relationships
    • identify and interrupt incivility and unprofessional behavior, as well as examine the role of the clinical faculty in addressing challenging and complex situations
