Abstract

Preparing adult learners to bring their expertise to improve new processes requires learner activation. Once learners are fully activated, they can bring their unique perspective to apply knowledge and facilitate change. For nurses, who are closest to the patient, activating the nursing perspective to continue to improve on the changes that will continue to pervade health care is critical. This is the role of the professional development educator. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2017;48(12):539-540.
