Innovations and issues in the delivery of continuing education to nurse practitioners in rural and northern communities.

Kate Tilleczek, Raymond Pong, Suzanne Caty · 2005 · PubMed

Summary. Rural nurse practitioners need continuing education to maintain professional skills, but distance delivery presents challenges. This study tracked Ontario's Rural Nurse Practitioner Continuing Education Initiative through needs assessment, implementation, and evaluation. Practitioners preferred face-to-face learning but faced barriers. The pilot project addressed these constraints using multiple online delivery modes and constructivist teaching methods. Despite innovations, significant challenges remain in serving rural and remote nurse practitioners.
