Abstract
Background: Effective training of clinical educators and preceptors is needed to support new nurses and to advance national recommendations that nurses be prepared to address health equity. A lack of instructors and preceptors has been identified as a contributing factor to the nursing shortage. Nurse educators and preceptors may not have had preparation in teaching concepts of health equity.
Method: The Oregon Nursing Education Academy (ONEA) prepares clinical nurse faculty and preceptors through pathways of achieving a master's in nursing degree or selected graduate coursework in clinical teaching and health equity, respectively.
Results: In 2 years, ONEA educated 32 clinical faculty and 46 preceptor scholars. Participant feedback indicates the program is reinvigorating enthusiasm for their career in nursing and substantiates their learning of health equity concepts.
Conclusion: ONEA supports nurse educators and preceptors to advance their skill in educational principles and teaching health equity, to improve and transform health care. [J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(3):163-169.].
