Welcome to the health equity partnerships website

mission

Our Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) supported projects, are inspired by the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing's long-standing commitment to a caring-based framework for nursing education and practice and the College's history of service to the underserved.

PROJECTS IN ACTION

CAPE-V		CAPE		CAPP		REEP
The project, “Caring-based Academic Partnerships in Excellence: Veteran RNs in Primary Care (CAPE-V),” is designed to educate and provide clinical training for bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) students in primary care and to provide professional development to practicing registered nurses (RNs) in primary care. The program will enrich the BSN curriculum and student clinical experiences in the areas of primary care, unique population health needs of veterans, mental health and substance use disorders, value added care, telehealth, and health information technology.		Caring-based Academic Partnerships in Excellence (CAPE) RNs in Primary Care In response to HRSA Funding Opportunity Announcement, HRSA-18-012, to recruit and train nursing students and current registered nurses to practice to the full scope of their license in community-based primary care teams to increase access to care, with an emphasis on chronic disease prevention and control in partnership with non-institutional settings; this project has created caring-based academic-practice partnerships to provide enriched didactic and practica experiences in primary care for Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students. The “CAPE Model,” will ultimately create healthier communities in rural and underserved areas through the education and clinical training of the BSN student in primary care workforce that will be practice ready and willing to serve rural and underserved communities.		Caring-based Academic Practice Partnerships (CAPP) to Enhance NP Readiness-to-and Willingness to Practice with Rural & Underserved Communities In response to HRSA-15-046, we established 2 new, and enhanced 2 existing, academic-practice partnerships in a re-designed model of clinical education and training called the CAPP Model. This award helped support the implementation of the CAPP Model which includes a critical teaching triad: Site Coordinators (SC), defined as a critical link between the academic and practice setting; Clinical Faculty (CF) who are fulltime academic faculty in the CON but who devote .25 - .50% FTE to their assigned partner organization; and CAPP Preceptors, a competency-based role.		Recruitment, Education, and Employment of Primary Care Providers for Underserved Populations (REEP) In response to HRSA-17-067, we are providing a relevant and evidence-based curriculum including academic and practicum experiences aimed at preparing nurse practitioners who can be entrusted to deliver evidence-based, culturally competent, skilled primary care for underserved, disadvantaged, racial, and ethnic minority groups in our community. The purpose of this project is employment of Nurse Practitioners ready and willing to care for underserved populations.
