More on EMPOWER
UNMC’s entry is the EMPOWER project, which works to address the health care disparities of women affected by domestic violence while also exposing students from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physician assistant, physical therapy and public health to its relevant issues.
Kirsten Foster, M2, is the latest student president of EMPOWER, which has been operating since 2008. The project is an undertaking of the Inter-Professional Service Learning Academy, College of Public Health.
