What is faculty practice?

Faculty practice(s) associated with schools of nursing can be defined and structured in many different ways. The purpose of this article is to define faculty practice, discuss the goals of faculty practice, and outline different models of implementation. Case examples from the University of California San Francisco, School of Nursing will illustrate different models of faculty practice. Through an understanding of faculty practice and various structural models, it is anticipated that nursing faculty and clinical partners will have familiar terminology and a common framework from which to evaluate strengths and limitations of different faculty practice arrangements.
