Learning Objective 1: gain knowledge of the key elements of a nurse mentoring educational program that supports the development of nurses as knowledge professionals.
Learning Objective 2: describe the impact of an educational fellowship that supports nurses engaged in educational opportunities with a goal of developing clinical, leadership or guideline implementation skills.
This poster presentation will highlight the key components of this unique educational mentoring program – the fellow, the mentor and the sponsoring organization – and how a common vision between these components leads to the success of the Fellowship. The types of Fellowship opportunities (clinical, leadership [education, policy, research, management] and guideline implementation) will be discussed in relation to how they have been designed to support an evidence-based practice culture, and what impact they have had on outcomes at the clinical and system level.
The benefits of the Fellowships will be emphasized, which include recognition of the needs of all the participants, including the fellows, mentors and sponsoring organizations. Participants will gain an appreciation of this unique educational approach to supporting the use of evidence-informed practice across the domains of nursing.
