In the context of rapid population aging, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and persistent shortages in the healthcare workforce, nurse practitioners (NPs) who provide patient-centered and integrated care across diverse healthcare settings have become a critical force in strengthening health¬care system resilience. Although Taiwan has established both educational and legal foundations for NP practice in 1984, current training model remains heavily focused on clinical skill development, with comparatively limited emphasis on academic advancement and higher educational levels. This imbalance restricts professional autonomy and constrains the full realization of NPs’leadership potential. Guid¬ed by the Strong Model of Advanced Practice Nursing, this paper examines how NP education and role development should support competency growth across five key domains: direct comprehensive care, education, research, healthcare system support, and publication and professional leadership. The model emphasizes patient- and family-centered care as the core purpose of professional development and advocates for integrated training in scholarship, interprofessional collaboration, and role empow¬erment to facilitate progression from novice to expert. The impacts of NPs are not only on enhancing clinical decision-making and patient care but also on improving the healthcare system and policy changes locally and globally. This paper argues that NP education in Taiwan should advance toward clinically oriented master’s and doctoral programs that strengthen competencies in evidence transla¬tion, research, and teaching. Such educational reform would cultivate NPs for both clinical excellence and systemic innovation. These efforts are essential to promoting professional autonomy and ensuring the sustainable development of the healthcare system. |
