RNs or APRNs transitioning into the role of clinical faculty or preceptors from medically underserved areas within the Southeast (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee) selected to participate in the program will receive stipends and travel support to participate in the academy's online training modules, a week-long training intensive at Emory School of Nursing, and a shadowing experience at CAPES Academy’s clinical partners’ sites. The grant will also fund trainees’ ongoing professional development, monthly engagement activities, and membership in professional nursing organizations.
