Guiding Principles for Academic-Practice Partnerships
According to the American Association of College of Nurses (AACN)-American ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ for Nursing Leadership (AONL) task force that developed these guiding principles, an academic-practice partnership is a mechanism for advancing nursing practice to improve the health of the public. Such intentional and formalized relationships are based on mutual goals, respect, and shared knowledge.
An academic-practice partnership is developed between a nursing education program and a care setting. Such relationships are defined broadly and may include partnerships within nursing, and other professions, corporations, government entities, and foundations.
