Faculty development of assessment skills.

Over the past decade, interest in the contribution that nursing can make to primary health care has mounted. This development has some marked implications for nursing education made explicit in the recommendation of the Report of the Committee on Nurse Practitioners (1972) that "the basic preparation of nurses, both at diploma and university levels, be suitably modified to reflect this broadened concept of nursing" (p. 14).
 This recommendation and other developments in health care have resulted in an examination of curricula by various schools of nursing to determine what modifications, if any, are necessary. At the University of Toronto Faculty of Nursing in 1972-73 a sub-committee of the curriculum committee examined in some detail the question of whether the graduates of the basic baccalaureate programme are prepared to perform the functions listed in the Report of the Committee on Nurse Practitioners and whether the instructional objectives suggested in that Report (pp. 37-40) for consideration in the development of programs for the preparation of nurse-practitioners are presently incorporated in the Basic Baccalaureate programme. At that time, there was general agreement that it would be necessary to build in additional content and learning experiences relating to objectives 1 and 2 (history-taking and physical assessment).
