- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: Needed for program/concentration/certificate change
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? The course is a culminating course in a series of Nursing Education classes offered either as Master's degree, Graduate Certificate for those possessing a graduate degree in Nursing, or concentration in the Doctorate of Nursing Practice program. The experiences in this course are a condensed version of the skills that are required to work as faculty or in staff development in a health care institution. Those students successfully completing this course and the required practicum co-requisite will be eligible for graduation and qualification as Nurse Educators with national accreditation. Students will be eligible to sit for specialty certification. Currently, there is a national shortage of Nurse Educators to serve as faculty as well as a shortage at local colleges including USF. Additionally, there are shortages of especially trained Staff Development Specialists in institutions that have relationships with colleges for internships, residencies, and clinical rotations. Graduates of this class and program will fill the void and will be successful representatives of the Nursing Education program at USF.

- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.)
