Who are we?•Community Health Partners is a program of the National Nursing Centers Consortium •History routed in the Nurse Managed Health Center (NMHC) movement •Defined in ACA as nurse practice arrangements, managed by APRN that provide primary care or wellness services to underserved or vulnerable populations and are associated with a school, college, university or department of nursing (H.R. 3590--111th Congress).

Challenges Facing U.S. Healthcare

Fragmentation

Healthcare disparities

Aging and sicker population

Primary care shortage

High costs

MissionCommunity Health Partners’ uniquely positioned to support the advancement of nurse-led care, a model that FQHCs are increasingly interested in adopting as practice transformation moves towards collaborative, team-based models of care.

VisionNurse-led health centers seek optimal ways to:• support the training of students, • recruit highly skilled students and • retain these students as employees and

leaders in nurse-led health centers.

ProcessCommunity Health Partners works with CHCs to:

• Identify current processes by which students are trained • Partner with clinic and administrative staff to streamline

and minimize the productivity strain and student onboarding

GOAL: develop an infrastructure which maximizes the student learning experience and increase student placements, supports the preceptor experience with minimal impact on productivity

Lessons Learned• Must implement innovative approaches to the

student education experience like intensive block training and supervision models.

• Culture of the institution must support the educational experience.

• Preceptor support and training is essential• Explore funding opportunities for student training.• Identify student training coordinator
