title: Multiple mentoring strategy in the academic preparation of quality assurance directors.
abstract: Availability of adequately educated and trained nursing quality assurance directors is a must for the survival of health care institutions. Educators meet many challenges in preparing masters students for this role. Issues pertaining to definition of a relevant course of study in theoretical and practical content areas, and faculty's lack of personal experience with the role are situations that must be resolved. This article describes a model of multiple mentoring through collaboration that was implemented at a large urban nursing department with satisfactory solutions.
