Description

Advancing the education of new nurse practitioners helps close the gap with the knowledge and core competencies necessary to practice independently and master delivery of quality care across the life span to vulnerable populations. Innovative teaching strategies incorporate the needs of the novice nurse practitioner and are designed to support the inclusive learning environment through educational technology, learner-centered activities, interprofessional partnerships, and local community-based agencies that facilitate active learning. Expanding the didactic and clinical training experience by integrating specialty rotations and simulation immersive events, enhances learning outside of the classroom and equips the postgraduate nurse practitioner with the skills and competence that builds on preparedness to successfully transition from novice nurse practitioner to confident primary care provider. Integration of novel teaching methodologies into curriculum and clinical training influences learning dynamics and empowers new nurse practitioners to leverage their strengths in practicing independently and providing expert care to unique populations.
