A National First: Nurse Practitioner Residency Training Program at CHC

The American health care system faces unprecedented demand for primary care providers who are trained to organize and deliver care that is timely, safe, effective, affordable, and culturally competent. While Nurse practitioners are critically important primary care providers—especially in the FQHC environment—they have historically had to assume roles in primary care without the benefit of formal post-graduate residency training programs to support the transition from new nurse practitioner to primary care provider. To address this need, MWHS affiliate Community Health Center founded the country’s first formal residency training program for family nurse practitioners in 2007, which has now grown to include tracks for psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, adult gerontology nurse practitioners, and pediatric nurse practitioners.
