The study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of a tailored Certificate in Nursing Education course provided to nursing tutors in Guyana.


A hybrid 4 course program was developed and implemented in conjunction with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies and 4 nursing schools in Guyana. The findings from the first cohort were presented at the STTI International Research Congress 2017. The presentation was awarded the STTI Nursing Education Research Award. A manuscript is in progress.
