Abstract
A unique partnership between two academic medical centers, one with a college of nursing and the other with a clinical research center (CRC), provided professional development hours focusing on clinical research and the clinical research nurse's role to generalist entry master's nursing students. Students with clinical research interests were invited to apply for the 32-hour professional development program scheduled during 4 sequential days. Didactic, observational, and role-playing experiences offered students a picture of the clinical research nurse role, research regulatory processes, and career opportunities postgraduation. Evaluation of the four cohorts who completed the program demonstrated that most participants highly agreed that the program was educational and valuable. Partnering with academic medical centers who have CRCs provides master's-level students with innovative professional development hours that foster their understanding of practice areas (e.g., clinical research, specialty role of the clinical research nurse) that are not part of their coursework.
