I am a new grad and want to hone my teaching skills.

Does anyone know of any interesting and fun ways to work while becoming a nursing educator?

I have seen one program with three levels of medical education degree that looks good; one of them is brief and looks great in that you are awarded a master teaching certificate! One component of the program is online and one component is face to face. The face to face part is in Italy. Imagine that!!!!

International Graduate Program in Medical Education

The whole program looks comprehensive, but the MTC seems to provide a real immersion for about the cost of a high end vacation for the same period of time!

I was in Milan last summer after I graduated. I'd sign up just for the in class part...

Has anyone on this board studied at Ambrosiana, or knows anyone that has?

Hi F Nigthengown,

What were you doing in Milan?
How long ago did you graduate?
Are you as concerned about improving nursing education too?

The www.internationalgme.org does look interesting doesn't it?

I mean what a romantic getaway for a new grad!!! Tuscany!! 4 weeks and a teaching certificate for the price of a high end holday with nothing but debt at the end!

Who do you think will be there?

Have you emailed them yet??

Hey F nightengown

It seems that we have a common interest in higher education. Note, F Nightengown, that the face to face component of the www.internationalgme.org MTC certificate is in Assisi, Italy. Not Milan.

I really can't imagine who might attend this certificate course in medical edcuation, (doctors I imagine) but it does look interesting and econimical if you compare it to a vacation in Italy. It really does look interesting, does it not!!!

The principles of the school that provides this certification apear to be directed towards health-related education and could in general encompass nursing education prinicples, so it may be of interest to us Nurses.

Hi Dani

Do you think that this program has much to offer nurses who want to become educators or improve their educator skills?

Do you think you would attend this program?

I think that this program, like others will provide participating nurses with the essentials - provided they are prepared, intelligent and want to become better educators.

I am thinking of getting in touch with them to find out more about their program. I have not yet received any feedback here about what training programs exist for nursing education. It seems that medicine is ahead of us in this endeavor. Maybe by attending such med ed programs, nurses can learn about the core requirements for developing similar programs in for training nurses about how to improve nursing education - not that nursing education lacks anything, but we can always get better, especially if we learn how to formally study nursing pedagogy. You know, so we can identify what approaches to educating nurses work best - that means have the best evidence!!
