Improving Nurse Practitioner Practice Readiness in an Interprofessional Student-Run Free Clinic

Interprofessional collaboration is an integral part of modern health care. Students in health science programs, including nurse practitioner students, should have interprofessional education opportunities as part of their clinical experience. University-affiliated free clinics can offer students the opportunity to provide patient care as part of an interprofessional team. Developing strategies and best practices for robust interprofessional learning experiences for primary care nurse practitioner students can be achieved in a student-run free clinic. This report will describe the process and benefits of shared learning experiences between students in various health programs. (c) 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
