UNC Wilmington: Virtual Clinical Site Visits

Dr. April Bice of UNC Wilmington discusses increased student access to faculty to conduct site visits using virtual conferencing technology in a Nurse Practitioners Program. This approach, Dr. Bice explains, has reduced faculty travel time by 60 hours, eliminated $2,000 in travel costs, and reduced travel by 5800 miles. As a result, faculty are able to spend more time interacting in with students in their courses and addressing student-specific learning needs. Dr. Bice also discusses how digital games are used to increase student mastery for conducting clinical site documentation.
