Results of 2009 Evaluation of COUPN CENP courses commissioned by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care

This study revealed the design of the five nurse practitioner (NP) continuing education (CE) courses offered by the Council of Ontario University Programs in Nursing (COUPN) to be thorough and comprehensive.

NP learners appreciated the computer-based format and online accessibility of the courses, felt that the material was relevant, informative and well-delivered, and appreciated the opportunity to work with, and learn from, the experiences of other NPs and course facilitators. Course developers agreed that COUPN NP CE offerings build upon NPs’ knowledge and skills and in so doing, support the ongoing development of NP practice. Upon reviewing the findings of this study, members of the Research Team and Steering Committee generated the following list of recommendations. Please click here.
