School of Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Program Clinical Faculty/Assistant Professor

Department Overview

OHSU has three missions: healing, teaching, and discovery. In the School of Nursing, these focus to optimize health, prepare nurse leaders, and transform health care. Infusing these is a fourth: to become a trauma-informed and truly anti-racist institution. The School of Nursing has made the same commitment. We, along with all of OHSU, are striving to become a place where every member can be safe, be at their best, and do their best work. With support from OHSU leadership and the Center for Diversity and Inclusion and using a trauma-informed approach, we are transforming our culture, policies, admissions, hiring, and more.

 

SON faculty members who have advanced practice specialization (nurse practitioner, nurse‐midwife, clinical nurse specialist, or nurse anesthetist), may function in all of the missions of the School. Scholarly teaching is an expectation for faculty members. The faculty member must be nationally certified and state licensed. If clinical practice is at an OHSU setting, the faculty member must be credentialed and privileged as a member of the OHSU Professional Staff per the specialty by laws. The faculty member will be assigned teaching, scholarship/research, and service responsibilities by the program director in furtherance of the university’s missions and goals of teaching, research, patient care, outreach, and public service. The advanced practice faculty member is expected to comply with the scope of practice, other laws, regulations, OHSU and SON policy, and other applicable professional standards of practice. This particular position is for the FNP program and includes a small FTE for grant administration in the Ashland area.

 

Faculty ranks are as follows:
