Resumo
Objetivo: Descrever um programa de imersão na Escola de Enfermagem da Universidade de Michigan (UMSN), focado em aprimorar a compreensão de enfermeiros latino-americanos sobre a formação, o escopo de prática, a regulamentação e a liderança do Nurse Practitioner (NP). Métodos: Relato de experiência da semana internacional “Desenvolvendo Enfermeiros de Prática Avançada na América Latina”. Participaram 18 profissionais de seis países, com tradução simultânea. As atividades incluíram apresentações sobre trajetórias MSN/DNP, orientações em laboratório de simulação e visitas clínicas a centros acadêmicos, unidades de atenção primária e clínicas gratuitas. Resultados: Observou-se a autonomia do NP em avaliação, diagnóstico, prescrição e coordenação de cuidados, além de sua colaboração interdisciplinar. Destacou-se o papel da simulação no desenvolvimento de competências e as contribuições do NP para a segurança, qualidade e equidade em saúde. Conclusão: A imersão promoveu o diálogo sobre a adaptação do modelo de NP dos Estados Unidos aos contextos latino-americanos. O programa fortaleceu o compromisso dos delegados em advogar pela padronização educacional, regulamentação de apoio e expansão da liderança de enfermagem na região.
