The purpose of this Advanced Nursing Education (ANE) project is to integrate technologies and simulation into primary care nurse practitioner education conducted within an interprofessional education and practice (IPEP) model at the University of Arizona (UA) College of Nursing (CON). Training emphasis will occur within the Rural Health Professions Program (RHPP), a state-mandated rural primary care training program that includes the Colleges of Nursing, Medicine and Pharmacy. Additional collaborative entities include the Arizona Telemedicine Program (ATP), the Arizona Area Health Education Centers (AzAHEC) program, and the Arizona Simulation Technology and Education Center (ASTEC). This ANE project will build on RHPP foundations and integrate IPEP, simulation and technologies into primary care nursing education, specifically the family nurse practitioner (FNP) program offered through the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. This ANE project builds from a solid foundation and culture for IPEP and state-of-the art use of simulation across the health sciences center and University of Arizona at-large. The College of Nursing is a recognized leader in web-based distance education models and the collaborative partners provide essential support for this project. The Arizona Telemedicine Program is a nationally award winning program. The ASTEC center is one of the most multidisciplinary simulation centers in the nation. The Arizona AHEC program is a conduit for effective community-based IPE training models. Further, The RHPP program was enacted by the Arizona Legislature in the 1997 (Arizona Statute 15-1754) and is a mandatory program for the Colleges of Nursing, Medicine and Pharmacy to implement and a stable foundation exists through RHPP to implement IPEP advanced nursing education. The University of Arizona Interprofessional Education and Practice Leadership Team is already leading interprofessional education transformation and will support this project. Three project goals underpin methodology: Goal 1) Integrate technologies and simulation into the family nurse practitioner education within an interprofessional education and practice model at the University of Arizona College of Nursing; Goal 2) Implement interprofessional education and practice strategies through the Rural Health Professions Program at the University of Arizona; and Goal 3) Develop effective interprofessional education and practice training capacity in collaboration with community-based primary care agencies. Methods to accomplish project goals include team learning strategies that will incorporate principles of interprofessional education that involves collaborative learning, egalitarian learning, group directed learning, experiential learning, reflective learning and applied learning.
