M. Elaine Tagliareni, NLN President, Professor of Nursing and Chair of Community Health at Community College of Philadelphia.

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 has 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 PROJECTS fund by OCNE
Eight pilot projects were implemented in a variety of locations and schools across the state. Each of the pilot projects was designed to create new opportunites for clinical learning. 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.

Summit registration is limited to faculty in Oregon nursing programs and their clinical partners. [If you are from out of state, please contact delmara@ohsu.edu for further details.]
