Student Engagement Through an Innovative Faculty-Practice Partnership in a Pediatric Clinic

In this Nurse Educator podcast (15 minutes), Dr. Karen Schwab, Director of Pediatric Services at Wellness 360 Pediatrics and Associate Clinical Professor at University of Texas (UT) Health, San Antonio, describes an innovative model for a faculty-practice pediatric clinic and how nursing students learn through service in the clinic’s telehealth and mobile units. Students participate in the care of vulnerable patient populations, manage the day-to-day function of the clinics, acquire work experience, and fulfill clinical and immersion hours.
