The purpose of the SGNA Nurse Fellowship Program is to educate and train GI/endoscopy nurses on evidence-based research that can then be applied to their day-to-day practice.
Eight to 10 nurse fellows will be selected for the inaugural 2012 class for a commitment of three years. Participants will receive in-person training using curriculum under development by SGNA and the TCU Center for Evidence-based Practice and Research: A Collaborating Center of the Joanna Briggs Institute.
SGNA will fund all training and related expenses for the nurse fellows.
Only SGNA Members are eligible to apply. The application for the 2012 class of fellow was due October 31, 2011, and the application period is now closed. The inaugural nurse fellows class will be announced in December 2011.
