The setting for this project was a free clinic
that serves an underserved and underprivileged community in the southeastern
United States. The patient population is 80% Hispanic and 20% African American
and Caucasian. The clinic also serves the community by doubling as a food bank
and clothing center. Clinician staffing at the clinic included three physicians,
two family nurse practitioners (FNPs), one physician assistant (PA), and a
mixture of nurse practitioner (NP) and PA students. The students rotated through
the clinic for one semester or multiple semesters as they progressed through
their graduate program’s plan of study.
