Abstract

A compelling reality in the current climate is the globalization of all enterprises and international cooperation in all domains of activity. In the area of nursing education there is perceptible evidence of movement in this direction. Many institutions offer study abroad opportunities and accommodate exchange students from overseas. While these developments are salutary, such experiences occur in under graduate education mostly. However, there is an expressed need to provide short—term, non—degree scholarly experiences for individuals at the post—master or post—doctoral levels who are at the beginning or middle of their careers. It is the purpose of this paper to describe the experiences of one such nursing program in providing advanced research training to scholars from other countries and in helping them to begin a program of research upon return to home institution.
