背景:护理教育的发展需要强大的学术能力和专家临床医生的结合。不同的专业成长和发展途径是必要的,以建立一个强大的教师与临床和研究的专业知识。一些学校已经实施了正式的临床跟踪(CT),以补充传统的终身跟踪,以促进CT的专业发展。
方法:本文提供了一个案例示例,说明一个机构如何使用Kotter变更模型维护和推进强大的CT,并讨论了未来的方向。
结果:学校的晋升基础设施,其遵循与保有权轨道(TT)提升和保有权准则类似的结构和准则,导致了学校各级CT教师的学术生产力的提高。越来越多的海报和讲台演示以及向国家和国际观众的出版物导致更大的影响和提高学校的声誉,国内和国际。
结论:虽然在推进护理CT的公平性和包容性方面仍有工作要做,开发和维护具有系统级结构的CT具有重要价值,并提供了明确的推广途径,投资于临床奖学金,并包括临床教师作为学术界的正式公民。
BACKGROUND: The evolution of nursing education requires a combination of strong academic faculty and expert clinicians. Different professional growth and development pathways are necessary to build a robust faculty with clinical and research expertise. Some schools have implemented a formal clinical track (CT) to complement the traditional tenure track for the professional advancement of CT.
METHODS: The article presents a case example of how one institution maintains and advances a strong CT using the Kotter Change Model and discusses future directions.
RESULTS: The school\'s infrastructure for promotion, which follows a similar structure and guidelines as Tenure Track (TT) Promotion and Tenure Guidelines, has led to an increase in the school\'s scholarly productivity among CT faculty across ranks. Increasing poster and podium presentations as well as publications to a national and international audience results in greater reach and improved reputation for the school, both nationally and internationally.
CONCLUSIONS: While there is still work to be done to advance equity and inclusion for nursing CTs, developing and maintaining a CT with system-level structures holds significant value and provides a clear path to promotion, invests in clinical scholarship, and includes clinical faculty as full citizens in academia.
