Building on the previous paper, the purpose of this presentation is to provide an analysis of the mechanisms of joining forces with education from an global community practice and policy perspective as an example of innovation and discovery in international graduate education. As key leaders in the practice arena who have been actively involved at top levels of nursing leadership we will discuss the processes involved in combining our preparation in nursing and health administration in a complementary way with nurse educators to mentor students in research utilization. Given societal imperatives for introducing discovery and innovation into the educational experience, the implications of this approach illustrates the impact of a collective effort to mentor students in developing research based innovations that are clinically relevant. Potential for enhancing this approach to explore its use in evidenced based practice and translational research will also be discussed.
