FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!!

Want to learn more about the Caputi Model for Clinical Education and how others are using it?

Check out the poster presentation by Professors Diane Sheets and Claudia Petit at Ohio State University about their implementation of the model. The first viewing of this poster will be at the Nurse Educator's Institute in Branson, Missouri April, 2012. (www.deanneblach.com) They experienced some very positive results!

And here is a message I received from a faculty in Michigan about the Caputi Model for Clinical Education:

This was exactly what I needed as I plan this semester's clinicals--WOW. It is the missing piece. We have struggled trying to figure out how to make the most of clinical experiences and give students a way to think through everything they see, do, learn, hear...now we have awesome tools. Thanks a million!
