    • Submission Description:
    Graduate and undergraduate faculty at UNM CoN are partnering to provide BSN students with a longitudinal community clinical experience in maternal-child health through the Family Health Partnership faculty practice site located in rural Sandoval County, NM. A three-term sequence of community-based electives on maternal and child health provide BSN students with collaborative clinical experiences that both meet the needs of the community and increase the understanding of and interest in community health maternal-newborn nursing.
