The second edition of this award-winning book has been updated to reflect the many significant innovations taking place in nursing education, including the growing importance of interprofessional education, an increasing emphasis on interactive teaching strategies and technology-enhanced learning, the acquisition of research funding in a competitive environment, and the need for faculty leadership and succession programs.

With “Getting Started” callouts, novice educators can apply chapter concepts in their faculty role with ready-made faculty assignments.
