This certificate provides baccalaureate- or master-prepared nurses with the knowledge and skills needed to function as nurse educators in didactic and clinical settings. Novice nurses learn to function as nurse educators while experienced nurse educators enhance their knowledge and skills. The four interactive didactic courses are based on educational philosophies, theories and trends; adult learning principles; curriculum and instructional designs and frameworks; and evaluation strategies. This certificate emphasizes holistic care, cultural diversity/sensitivity, critical thinking and reflective practice. Courses take a patient-focused, family centred and multidisciplinary approach. Current research, best practice and lived experience provide the foundation for learning. For more information, contact Julie Persons at 416-415-5000, ext. 3164, or jpersons@georgebrown.ca. |
