You're Invited: MSN Summer Lecture Series "eMentor"

Join the MSN program for its MSN Summer Lecture Series entitled "eMentor: A successful, online intercollegiate mentorship for novice nurse practitioner faculty" on Thursday, July 20, from 3 to 4 p.m. in Pearson 1011.

Elaine Kauschinger will describe the development and implementation of eMentor and identify the elements of successful online mentorship. Recruiting skilled clinicians and preparing them as nurse practitioner faculty is one approach to addressing the present faculty shortage. Crossing over from highly experience NP to novice NP educator can be overwhelming. Mentorship can be an essential component to recruitment & retention of new faculty. Virtual mentoring permits the reduction of previous barriers with regards to time and geographical distance. This presentation will provide an overview of the design, implementation and expansion of the eMentor program that has involved faculty from various US and Canadian universities.

This is the second in a three-part Summer Lecture Series.  Light refreshments such as wine and cheese will be served in the Atrium for participants starting at 2:30pm.
