Claudia Lucas, a Cardiology certificate student, contributed to "Nurse Practitioner Fellowship: Program Planning and Curriculum Development."  

"Nurse Practitioner Fellowship: Program Planning and Curriculum Development" discusses the rapidly emerging trend to develop nurse practitioner (NP) fellowship programs that facilitate post-graduate transition into practice. The book offers information and tools for developing NP fellowship program infrastructure, faculty development, program content, and evaluation methods.

This resource can be used as a step-by-step guide for those interested in developing, implementing, evaluating and improving upon current NP fellowship programs. Each chapter also contains useful activities and answers to frequently asked questions when starting an NP fellowship program.

Readers will be able to utilize the book’s learning activities to develop an NP fellowship program based on their organization and specialty needs.

This book will also help:

• Provide a roadmap for the NP fellowship planning team throughout the program planning and development process.
• Determine a budget and get approval within your organization for NP fellowship program goals and objectives    
• Prepare staff and faculty for the challenges and opportunities that NP fellowship programs face
• Customize or update your current program based on your organization or specialty needs
