Training the Next Generation of Primary Care Providers:
Residency Training for New NPs
Join us for an informative webinar with Margaret Flinter and her colleagues about innovative models in nurse practitioner training. In 2007, the Community Health Center, Inc.. launched the country’s first post-graduate residency training program for new family nurse practitioners committed to practice careers as primary care providers in the safety net setting of the U.S., particularly community health centers.
