Knowledge acquisition and knowledge use are seamlessly integrated in Dr. Lisa Day’s classes. She situates the student’s learning in actual unfolding cases, so students practice their clinical reasoning across time and can reflect on the impact of their interventions. Lisa Day places Care of the Patient as central to her teaching. She challenges the students to reflect on the patient’s experience, and on what good practice demands. Dr. Day describes how she prepares her unfolding case studies. She demonstrates and discusses one of her central pedagogical strategies–active questioning of students in order to help them develop their clinical imagination. Her students at UCSF repeatedly gave her “Teacher of the Year Awards” for the Master’s Entry Second Baccalaureate Degree Nursing Program. Dr. Day is now on faculty at Duke University School of Nursing in Durham, North Carolina.
