Clinical Education Summit II
Held May 15, 2008
Lane Community College
Eugene, OR

Dr. Tagliareni has extensive experience developing educational partnerships between academia and service and will speak to the urgency of developing partnerships to support clinic education. She will also share her insights into why national attention is focued on the emerging education models in Oregon.

The new Clinical Education Model is a comprehensive model that spans the OCNE curriculum. A “think tank” of OCNE educators and their clinical partners have designed this new model, which includes five types of learning experiences designed to:
1. Create opportunities for a greater number of students to obtain necessary and appropriate clinical experiences.
2. Increase the scope of clinical experience by using a variety of clinical settings, thus reducing the dependence and burden on acute care clinical agencies.
3. Provide clinical experiences that prepare nurses for future practice.
4. Reduce faculty and staff nurse strain and risks to patient safety.

Pilot project outcomes will be presented through panel discussion and poster display. Implementation of the clinical education redesign model and associated replication of pilot projects will be explored through collaborative dialogue among academic and clinical partners.
