Faculty Advisors

Georgetown University School of Nursing & Health Studies’ online degree programs pair each student with a Clinical Faculty Advisor (CFA) at the beginning of the clinical sequence. The CFA models, mentors, and advises their clinical graduate student.

Through their relationship with the CFA, students develop a medium for clinical enrichment, are provided professional support, and establish a mechanism to ensure continuity of open communication. Specifically, CFAs focus on:

• Identifying a student’s learning style and needs during the clinical practicum.
• Clarifying expectations related to the clinical experience.
• Overseeing the mastery of instructional content as integrated into the clinical setting.
• Evaluating and promoting skill development.
• Monitoring clinical progress, reviewing clinical evaluation tools and clinical case discussion, and communicating with preceptors.
• Collaborating with didactic course faculty to ensure achievement of course objectives.
• Providing support for professional problem-solving.
