Michigan nurses have an opportunity to participate in preceptor training as part of a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention Clinical Faculty and Preceptor Academy grant awarded to Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville (SIUE).
SIUE plans to recruit and train 60 students in graduate nurse educator, nurse anesthesia or nurse practitioner programs, 100 healthcare preceptors and 40 clinical faculty over each of the next four years. Under the terms of the grant, SIUE is required to recruit nurses from each of the states in HRSA Region 5, including Michigan. Participants will be recruited from local and regional healthcare organizations and academic institutions.
The preceptor academy consists of 10 self-paced, internet-based training modules, an annual clinical faculty and preceptor conference using a hybrid approach, and incorporates emotional intelligence and resiliency coaching. Upon completion of the academy, graduates will receive a $2,500 stipend and continuing education certificate.
Interested individuals are asked to complete a survey to share their preceptor training content needs with SIUE.
To be considered for the academy, applications must be completed by June 30, 2023.
