Abstract

Strong clinicians are often thrust into management roles without appropriate training, leading to burnout, frustration, and turnover. This article outlines how an academic health system developed a 24-month nurse manager internship to train and mentor promising future leaders and to also build a pipeline for this difficult-to-fill role.
