The goals of the project are to increase education in public health nursing practice and to provide a community-based learning experience for students while improving both the delivery of health services to and the health status of the urban Baltimore community. The ultimate objective is to improve health in similar urban communities by increasing the number of nursing graduates who are proactive in urban public health. Opportunities for special study credits with selected faculty are available. These offerings provide structured learning experiences while working directly in the community. Whenever feasible, students will be assigned to multidisciplinary teams to enrich the learning experience.
Stipends are available for selected students who engage in special community service projects.
Nursing students interested in expanding upon or developing their interest in community-based public health may identify themselves upon matriculation or at any time during their course of study. Copyright 2000 Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. All Rights Reserved.
