A divide commonly exists between rural communities and healthcare access, but a grant will soon allow University of Virginia nursing students to be in closer reach.
Located in Charlottesville, the university's School of Nursing is making community engagement a new component of its psychiatric mental health nursing course. Fourth-year nursing students will no longer spend their clinical studies solely in traditional mental healthcare settings. Instead they will travel to some of the state's rural communities-partnering with patients and healthcare providers-to devise interventions for the locations' largest health problems.
