Session presented on Sunday, July 26, 2015:
Background: In 2012, Guyana Nursing Schools adopted a new curriculum in preparation for integration into the Caribbean Nursing Council. Efforts are being made to implement this curriculum and prepare students for the competencies for entry to practice. Educators from Guyana, Canada and United States were involved in developing a series of workshops towards strengthening tutor capacity in delivering the new curriculum.
Purpose: The aim of this project is to strengthen nursing tutors' capacity towards developing instructional guides and multiple choice item writing.
Results: A hybrid delivery using both online and in-person intensive tutor professional development was conducted to facilitate both classroom and clinical instructional guide development.
Conclusion: Enablers and barriers of working in an international collaborative will be shared.
