Pursuing Radical Transformation Conference (POSTPONED)
Virtual Clinical Instructor Intensive - "Rising to the Occasion: Lasting lessons from teaching during change"
The live virtual Clinical Instructor Intensive occurred on August 11, 2020. WE had an incredible group of more than 90 people in attendance via Zoom for the 6 hour Intensive. Educators from across the USA and as far as the Middle East and Africa joined us.

The challenges in Clinical Nursing Education today have multiplied over the last several year with all of the chaos and change in the world! Clinical instructors (CIs) are needed more than ever, particularly considering the demands of our healthcare settings in light of COVID-19. Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) has designed a conference that - over the past 12 years - has helped many CIs be better prepared for their roles and responsibilities, as well as the dynamics of the healthcare arena.
The Intensive, designed to be presented virtually this year, addressed key clinical topics for clinical educators of healthcare disciplines students and was led by a talented and experienced group of full-time faculty and clinical nurse educators who teach in our health education programs.
This Intensive provided an opportunity for faculty and CIs to examine their current clinical teaching strategies and develop new ways to strengthen clinical education for pre-licensure and graduate health education students. We also explored ways to transition from clinical educator to a full-time faculty position. Finally, we concluded the intensive with strategies to find life balance in the midst of our world.
History
The Clinical Instructor (CI) Intensive was first offered by the Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) in 2008 for the purpose of helping our School’s CIs – and CIs from other schools – better understand and effectively implement their roles as teachers in the clinical setting. This one- to two-day interactive conference is offered annually – typically during the summer months – and incorporates formal presentations by experts in teaching, case studies of challenging situations faced by CIs, sharing of policies and practices that exist in various schools and dialogue about role conflicts, communicating with course faculty and expectations of CIs.
Who is it for?
The challenges in Clinical Nursing Education today are many! The hiring, orientation, and development of clinical instructors (CIs) continues to be an ongoing challenge, particularly in light of the demands of our clinical settings and program curricula. Acquisition of sites, orientation to EHRs, navigating the ever-changing environment requires constant attention. Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) has designed a workshop that – over the past 10 years – has helped many CIs be better prepared for their roles and responsibilities, as well as the dynamics of the healthcare arena.
The Intensive is led by a talented and experienced group of full-time Faculty and Clinical Nurse Educators who teach in our accelerated BSN and MSN programs. We believe the time spent in this intensive workshop is a valuable and important investment in the people who make our clinical courses come alive—the Clinical Instructors. The component of the Intensive for both novice and experienced CIs provides an opportunity for participants to discuss challenges that arise while teaching in the clinical setting and how to best understand and manage them. For example, issues related to students who are not prepared, staff members who are not particularly supportive of students, errors, managing one’s time when teaching up to 10 students, conducting effective post-clinical conferences, appropriate learning experiences for students and so on are discussed and dissected.
This Intensive is intended to be interactive and relevant, and to provide an opportunity for faculty and CIs to look at their current clinical teaching strategies and develop new ways to strengthen clinical education for pre-licensure and graduate nursing students.
Teaching Conversations
What are they?
The IEE Teaching Conversations are an ongoing series of informal sessions, facilitated by DUSON faculty or other experts from the Duke or surrounding communities, that are designed to share educational innovations, strengthen teaching strategies or address common issues experienced by faculty. Each Teaching Conversation includes a brief presentation of the topic, which is followed by informal discussion among the participants – faculty from DUSON or other disciplines/schools, graduate students and nurse educators from other settings. All Teaching Conversations are made available via live streaming to those who wish to participate from a distance, and all are recorded so that they can be accessed by faculty and other members of the DUSON community at a later date.
