摘要
The purpose of this project was to increase access to cancer screening for underserved women while providing collaborative clinical experiences for family nurse practitioner (FNP) students. A FNP program, the School of Public Health, and a free clinic collaborated to provide well-woman visits that included breast and cervical cancer screening to low-income women. From 2015-2016, 83 women received well-woman exams, including 75 cervical cancer screenings and 47 referrals for mammography. Qualitative surveys revealed 95% satisfaction and 100% reported they would refer friends and family. Innovative collaboration improves access to cancer screening for low-income women while providing training for FNP students.
