Clinical faculty are entrusted with providing high-quality education for nurse practitioner (NP) students while engaging in clinical practice, scholarship, and service. To provide NP students with utmost clinical training and education, clinical faculty should maintain a clinical practice in their area of expertise. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing and the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties have asserted that nursing faculty providing clinical education must be expert clinicians. The challenge many clinical faculty face is maintaining a practice while balancing the expectations of the faculty role. This article highlights the value of clinical faculty in a large private academic institution as essential members in building partnerships, supporting preceptors, and enhancing NP students' clinical training. A critical aspect of the partnership was the unique role and the added value the clinical faculty member provided in building and expanding community partnerships.
临床教师肩负着在从事临床实践、学术研究和服务的同时，为执业护士（NP）学生提供高质量教育的重任。为了给NP学生提供最大限度的临床培训和教育，临床教师应在其专业领域保持临床实践。美国护理学院协会和全国执业护士教师组织宣称，提供临床教育的护理教师必须是临床专家。许多临床教师面临的挑战是在保持临床实践的同时，平衡教师角色的期望。本文强调了大型私立学术机构中临床教师作为建立合作伙伴关系、支持带教老师和加强NP学生临床培训的重要成员的价值。这种伙伴关系的一个关键方面是临床教师在建立和扩大社区伙伴关系中所发挥的独特作用和附加价值。
