<abstract><p>Background: Internationalization of nursing education provides opportunities for faculty development, knowledge exchange, and exposure to alternative approaches to academic and clinical practice. However, evidence documenting lecturers’ experiences and the potential educational value of international faculty exchange, particularly in resource-constrained settings, remains limited. This study describes lecturers’ experiences during a multi-specialty international academic and clinical exchange. Methods: The experiences of three faculty members from the University of Zambia, School of Nursing Sciences, who participated in an international capacity-strengthening exchange programme under the Strengthening Health Professional Workforce Education Programs for Improved Health Care in Zambia initiative where documented. The exchange was conducted in collaboration with Birmingham City University (BCU), United Kingdom, from 12 August to 8 September 2024. Participants were faculty involved in postgraduate nursing education in oncology and palliative care, trauma and emergency nursing, and critical care nursing. Data were derived from participants’ written accounts, structured placement schedules, and an exchange mission report documenting academic activities, simulation-based learning, professional engagements, and observational clinical placements across BCU and National Health Service institutions in Birmingham and surrounding areas. Results: The exchange provided exposure to postgraduate nursing curricula, simulation and skills laboratory education, multidisciplinary practice, patient pathways, clinical protocols, mentorship, advanced nursing roles, and specialist clinical services. In oncology and palliative care, participants observed chemotherapy, radiotherapy, acute oncology, apheresis, stem-cell services, Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter line care, hospice care, and oncology research. Emergency and critical care experiences included patient navigation, triage, resuscitation, sepsis management, advanced monitoring, mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, standardized protocols, checklists, multidisciplinary reviews, and critical care outreach. Participants identified several practices with potential for contextual adaptation, including structured mentorship, simulation-based education, clinical protocols, patient navigation, quality improvement, and strengthened clinical reasoning. Conclusion: International faculty exchange provided valuable opportunities for professional learning, reflection, networking, and identification of contextually relevant approaches to strengthening nursing education. Sustained institutional support, structured knowledge translation, and evaluation of post-exchange implementation are recommended.</p></abstract>
