Evidenced-Based Practice Staff Nurse Internship Program



Evidenced-Based Practice Internship ProgramProgram OverviewThe Evidenced-Based Practice Internship Program is designed to promote the use of research findings and other evidence in guiding clinical practice. Clinicians value using scientific evidence in practice, but require mentoring to evaluate and integrate research into their clinical practice area. Projects consistent with core measures are encouraged, such as readmission, pathway revisions, outcome monitoring, reduction in falls, restraints, are a few examples. This internship will offer the individual the opportunity to use clinical evidence to support the care they deliver, or to change their practice and achieve optimal outcomes. The individual will have the opportunity for a deeper understanding of how to use research to implement changes in their clinical area. The individuals who apply and are selected will collaborate with management, peers, and project facilitators to develop, implement and evaluate current clinical practices in their clinical area. The internship combines didactic presentations, group discussions, individual mentoring and facilitated work time to support learning. The didactic sessions will be scheduled for participants to learn how to evaluate the data and conclusions in published research. Librarian assisted literature searches will be scheduled for all participants. You will receive CEU’s for participation in this internship. A committee will review each application. A selected group of individuals will be accepted into the internship program based upon the relevance of the project goals, congruency with patient initiatives and organizational goals.
