To address shortages and improve standards, nurse practitioner (NP) training was integrated into higher education. International collaboration enhanced NP education, fostering advanced clinical skills and independent practice capabilities.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Advanced Practice Nursing
  • Higher Education in Health Sciences

Context:

  • Healthcare systems face resident doctor shortages, leading hospitals to train nurse practitioners (NPs).
  • Current NP training lacks standardized criteria and consistent faculty quality, resulting in NPs often acting as medical substitutes rather than independent practitioners.
  • There is a recognized need to integrate NP training into higher education to elevate standards and align with international roles.

Purpose:

  • To establish the first NP in-service training program through international collaboration at Chang Gung University's Graduate Institute of Nursing.
  • To cultivate advanced clinical nursing talents capable of fulfilling the multifaceted roles of treatment and care.
  • To enhance NP competencies in clinical reasoning and practical skills through a structured, internationally-informed curriculum.
