Assuring Clinical Competence by Reinventing Clinical Education
Nursing needs to adopt increasingly innovative strategies
to meet the needs of new generations and evolving priorities
in health care. What are minimum clinical competencies
for nursing practice? How can clinical teaching and learning

partnerships are pivotal to success? How can we evaluate
competency from a point of evidence? Reflect on new ways
to approach the time-honored and essential element of
clinical education.

Program Session
Implementing Evidence-Based Practice in Classroom and
Clinical
What kind of practitioner do you want caring for you and
your loved ones? That question should underpin the goals
of the nursing program and result in clear outcome criteria
that can and should be evaluated. Explore pragmatic approaches
to incorporating evidence-based practice and using data
at the undergraduate level to meet the goal of producing
excellent nurses.
Speaker: Ellen Fineout-Overholt, PhD, RN, Director,
Center for the Advancement of Evidence-Based Practice,
College of Nursing, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ

Closing Program Session
The Nature of Teaching
All undergraduate programs place a high value on teaching,
and faculty typically desire to be good teachers. But
improving education and examining scholarship in the academic
setting require a common conceptualization of what is
meant by "teaching," actually a multi-faceted
and very complex notion. Contemplate how nursing faculty
can reconsider their teaching to result in dramatically
improved learning.
Speaker: Tim Riordan, PhD, Professor, Department
of Philosophy, Alverno College, Milwaukee, WI
