Abstract

Against the backdrop of accelerating globalization and the robust development of the Hainan Free Trade Port, the promotion of the nursing education faculty in the joint program between Hainan Medical University and the University of the West of England has emerged as a crucial means of enhancing regional nursing education and cultivating internationally oriented nursing talents. This paper aims to explore the requirements for nursing education faculty in the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port, analyze the current situation and challenges in faculty promotion, summarize the main achievements, and propose strategies and suggestions for further optimizing faculty promotion. By strengthening the promotion of a faculty that aligns with international standards, Hainan Medical University has not only improved teaching quality and research levels but also will supply a large number of high-quality, international-oriented nursing talents for the development of the nursing industry in the Hainan Free Trade Port and across the country. Taking the nursing education joint program between Hainan Medical University and the University of the West of England as an example, this paper delves into the current situation, strategies, achievements, and challenges in the promotion of the nursing education faculty in Sino-foreign cooperative education. By summarizing the practical experiences of both sides in faculty selection, training, and teaching cooperation, it aims to provide references for other Sino-foreign cooperative education projects.
