BACKGROUND
The Gaston County Public Health Department was awarded funds from Duke University for the Graduate Nursing Education (GNE) Demonstration Project for Preceptor work. A preceptor is a clinical provider such as a nurse, midwife, or physician assistant who teaches, supports, coaches, and mentors graduate health science students from various universities concerning their fields of expertise. The Public Health Department provided clinical preceptors for Duke Students who are in the Duke nursing program. The GNE Demonstration Project provides funds for the time that the student spent with each provider. These funds will be used for the Women’s Health staff professional medical training opportunities and program supplies and equipment. These are Non-County funds.
