Linking Interprofessional Community Health Experiences With Nursing Education: 15 Years and Counting.

Background: Ensuring that nurses and other health care professionals are trained to work together in teams is critical.

Problem: Recent literature describes interprofessional education (IPE) programs that meet community health needs. However, there is a need for descriptions of IPE programs embedded in the communities they serve.

Community-engaged Research Partnerships as Healing Spaces for Health Professionals and Researchers.

Drawing from collective experiences in our capacity building project: Health Equity Activation Research Team for Inclusion Health, we argue that while community-engaged partnerships tend to focus on understanding health inequities and developing solutions, they can be healing spaces for health professionals and researchers. Data were obtained from a 15-month participatory ethnography, including focus groups and interviews. Ethnographic notes and transcripts were coded and analyzed using both deductive and inductive coding.

The Radical Welcome Engagement Restoration Model and Assessment Tool for Community-Engaged Partnerships.

People experiencing addiction, houselessness, or who have a history of incarceration have worse health outcomes compared with the general population. This is due, in part, to practices and policies of historically White institutions that exclude the voices, perspectives, and contributions of communities of color in leadership, socio-economic development, and decision-making that matters for their wellbeing. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches hold promise for addressing health inequities.

Assessing Color-Blind Racism in Nursing Students.

The nursing workforce does not mirror the demographics of the United States, contributing to health disparities related to race. The purpose of this study was to assess possible changes in racial bias among undergraduate nursing students. Students in their first ( n = 58) or fifth ( n = 50) semester completed the Color-Blind Racial Attitudes Scale via an online survey.

COVID-19 and practice transformation: Building an office-based opioid treatment program in a family medicine residency practice.

Introduction: This brief report describes how a family medicine residency practice (FMRP) leveraged a resident-led quality improvement project and a grant-funded Addiction Integrated Care Team (AICT) to initiate an office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) program to provide medications for opioid use disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method: In 2020, the practice experienced four disruptors that shifted motivation for practice development: (a) The COVID-19 pandemic demanded rapid change in primary care processes/staffing, including pivoting to telehealth/remote practice. (b) The practice's transition to a federally qualified community health center model meant a shift in organizational priorities that required offering OBOT services.
