Abstract


Objective: The purpose is to explore opportunities to leverage faculty practice to grow the NP faculty workforce.

Methods: The data were a subset of a larger study surveying NP students and faculty.

Results: Findings support faculty practice as an innovative strategy that can be leveraged to grow the NP faculty workforce.

Conclusions: There are missed opportunities for growing the NP workforce when faculty practice is not being used 1) as a strategy to recruit and retain faculty and 2) to entice NP students to consider a future career in academia.
