    Improving Clinical Education with SOPs

    In nursing education, clinical site visits are often viewed merely as a logistical requirement for accreditation and student evaluation. But an essential question remains are these interactions truly empowering preceptors? And is there a direct relationship between the structured faculty support and improved patient care? As the complexities of clinical environments and virtual constraints continue to grow, how can nursing programs move beyond inconsistent observations to intentionally create standardized, flexible frameworks where educators can confidently guide and learners can truly thrive, not just perform? Welcome to Teach Well Learn Well, a podcast series highlighting the scholarship being published by members of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center's community about effective ways to teach. This month, I talked to authors of an article titled Optimizing Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Critical Site Visits with a Standard Operating Procedure, published in the October twenty twenty five Journal for Nurse Practitioners. Humphrey, S., Reed, L., & Bellflower, B. (2025). Optimizing advanced practice registered nurse clinical site visits with a standard operating procedure. The Journal for Nurse Practitioners, 21(9), 7. doi:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2025.105515 Teach Well Learn Well is produced by the Teaching and Learning Center at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. http://tlc.uthsc.edu.

    Recruiting Students into Health Programs

    In this episode, we dive into a pioneering early-exposure program originally designed for first-year medical students to demystify neurology through hands-on labs, clinical shadowing, and mentorship. We'll discuss how giving students an early look at the clinical impact of a specialty—before they are overwhelmed by their standard coursework—not only successfully increases their comfort and interest levels, but also provides vital cross-training for those who ultimately pursue different paths, such as emergency medicine.
