“An online program to help clinical practitioners become effective educators”.

Dean of the School of Nursing at Widener University Introduction The Teaching and Assessment for Nursing and Allied Health Educators online program is designed to support all clinical educators, including adjunct faculty members, as they address some of the issues inherent within clinical education. It intends to help those with teaching responsibilities to become more proficient in tailoring and preparing their teaching according to learner needs and diverse educational settings; in developing clinical reasoning skills; in involving patients in the learning process; in designing appropriate assessments; in delivering and receiving feedback; and in addressing potential challenges. Ultimately, this program will help educators ensure that the clinicians of tomorrow are fit to practice. Throughout, this course encourages participants to review their profession-specific standards and domains, and underlines the fundamental role of service users within clinical education – whilst highlighting the issues of safety and consent.
