Abstract
Background: Nurse professional development practitioners (NPDPs) support licensed nurses as they transition into practice. The NPDPs themselves benefit from opportunities to grow professionally in their role as educators.
Method: A nursing school and hospital leadership pilot initiative was conducted to support staff development for NPDPs at a Midwestern health system. Four sessions were developed by academic educators and presented to NPDPs: educational theory, backward curricular design, active learning strategies, and assessment and evaluation principles.
Results: The NPDPs who attended the seminar indicated that the program objectives were met and identified at least one change they planned to make in planning, course design, or evaluation. In addition, they requested future professional development opportunities. Planning and implementation of this pilot educational seminar provided valuable content for NPDPs.
Conclusion: This pilot model can strengthen academic-practice partnerships and support ongoing staff development. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2024;55(5):253-256.].
