Career Coaching: A Proactive Approach to Implementing a Successful Plan Toward Promotion (1 Class A CE)

Successful academic promotion for nurse anesthesiology faculty is fundamental to the stability of the CRNA educator workforce. There are very few CRNA faculty with advanced academic rank, and even fewer with tenure. For many academic institutions, achieving advanced academic rank requires a systematic and focused approach to career development that results in impactful scholarship. Novice faculty often struggle to design scholarly portfolios that meet the requirements of promotion and tenure. This presentation will describe a facilitated career coaching program between an experienced CRNA scholar, and a tenure-track faculty newcomer designed to improve socialization into academic nursing and establish a streamlined path toward developing an impactful program of scholarship.
