UTHSC News: Three UT Nursing Programs Collaborate for Rural Health Access

The University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Nursing and the nursing programs at UT Martin and UT Southern are working to increase access to health care and expand the nursing workforce in rural West Tennessee.

A $300,000, 17-month grant from the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development will fund the Tennessee Rural Nurse Scholars program for eight nursing students: four at UT Martin and four at UT Southern. The students will receive financial support in their final year of nursing school, a paid student nurse internship experience, and additional training through an online rural health medallion program.
