[An experimental educational model, a complementary Program for Licensure in regional nursing]

A brief review is given of the Supplementary Licentiate Program in Nursing at a Distance offered by the Nursing Departament of the Valle University, Cali, Colombia. The purpose of the Program is to allow general nurses to pursue studies without leaving their place of work, using an experimental education model; if the results are good, it will be extended to other levels of nursing training. The methodology describes the administrative process resultant from the already completed planning stage, and the gains made to date.
