  • A strategic plan for implementing and evaluating at least one EBP project
  • A description of the EBP Mentor role for their agency
  • Mentor other nurses in the EBP process
  • Ask the clinically relevant question
  • Search for the evidence
  • Critically appraise and synthesize the evidence
  • Planning and implementing evidence
  • Evaluating the outcomes of an EBP project

Clinical Scholar Mentors: Bachelor’s prepared staff nurses who will develop plans for practice change and EBP mentorship on their respective units.

ARCC (Advancing Research & Clinical Practice through Close Collaboration) Mentors: Master’s prepared advanced practice nurses (APNs), managers, administrators who will develop plans for system-wide change for clinical practices, service lines, units, educational departments, or other system focus.

Program Description

All attendees will have didactic and interactive experiences in mentorship techniques.

ARCC and Clinical Scholar mentors will have sessions together and in focused “hands-on” groups. There are 2 tracks with the EBP Mentorship Program. The Foundational Track is designed to prepare nurses and other healthcare professionals who have little research exposure, knowledge and skills.  The Intermediate Track is designed to prepare nurses and other healthcare professionals with moderate research exposure, knowledge and skills. The faculty for the program will be available to mentor the participants throughout the week in the group sessions, by e-mail and/or by telephone in the evening.
