Faculty in Residence: Emerging Roles for Collaborative Academic Practice in Public Health Nursing
Faculty practice in public health and community based settings is largely missing in nursing academic practice dialogues. Emerging models of care delivery in the United States create opportunities for both graduate and undergraduate nursing faculty to partner with community based health systems to meet individual and population health needs. The Interprofessional Care Access Network (I-CAN) provides a framework for community academic collaborative partnership. ICAN is a grant-funded community collaborative program which utilizes nursing faculty (Faculty in Residence) to build formal and informal relationships within communities to enhance health care experiences, improve population health outcomes, and reduce health care costs for disadvantaged and underserved patients, families and populations. The faculty in residence collaborates with interprofessional student teams, health and service organizations, and clients to address individual and population determinants of health and health disparities within a geographically defined neighborhood. Faculty practice within community settings capitalizes on the public health workforce by engaging both students and faculty in the provision of care for both individuals and populations in partnership with public health and community based organizations.
