Check out UNMC’s new mobile nurse managed clinic on Tuesday. |
What: The clinic is a 38-foot, custom-built vehicle that will provide a clinical rotation site for 25 students enrolled in the college’s geriatric nurse practitioner program. There are few rural sites in which to train students who will be practicing in rural areas. It also will fill a critical need for comprehensive geriatric assessments for frail older adults in rural areas.
What’s inside: The mobile clinic has:
- Two exam rooms;
- A wheelchair lift;
- Laboratory testing equipment; and
- An EKG machine.
The clinic also is equipped with high definition video capability, which can be used as a tool for a live telehealth connection to a patient’s care providers or to specialists for consultation anywhere in the state.
