The Importance of the Tutor's Psycho-Pedagogical Development in Training Nurses

In today's healthcare system, nurses make up the largest professional category. During clinical training, the nurse trainee learns, while working in a team or alongside a community, how to plan, how to put into practice and evaluate general medical care, based on previously acquired skills and knowledge. One of the most important members of the tutoring team is the nursing tutor. In order for the tutors to really meet the needs of the students, they are required to be acquainted with the learning knowledge theories and their models, as well as the application of learning methods specific to the pedagogy of medical education, coupled with a continuing personal and professional development. Thus, the definition of psycho-pedagogical training for clinical practice tutors, followed by the development of specific skills, regulation and status consolidation for them represent the strategic objectives in a general context of training for future nurses.
