Educational Innovations for Continuing Education: JumpStart Modules for Advanced Practice Providers.

There is increasing interest and evidence for the "flipped classroom" as a learner-centered approach to promote active engagement and enhance translation of knowledge into practice. However, there is little published work regarding application of the pedagogical approach to continuing education (CE) for advanced practice providers. The goal of CE is for providers to stay up-to-date with current best practices and skills, yet most CE activities employ teacher-centered, lecture-based methods focused on transmission of knowledge rather than application of knowledge. The purpose of this article is to describe successful use of the flipped classroom in a recent CE offering for emergency nurse practitioners, and to support further exploration of interactive approaches in CE.
