Curriculum for the development of staff nurses as clinical faculty and scholars.
The authors describe a unique educational program developed collaboratively in numerous educational and practice institutions to prepare staff nurses to assume a teaching role. A wide variety of teaching strategies were presented and demonstrated in the course so that the participants acquired new knowledge and skills to implement the clinical faculty role. This new pool of clinical faculty completed the course with a defined skill set and the title of clinical scholar.
