Clinical Programming
From HRSA-funded grants to community clinics and other partnerships, our clinical programming gives students real-world experiences with patients in a range of clinical experiences and specializations across the continuum of care.
ARROW
Atlanta’s Resiliency Resource for frontline Workers (ARROW) is an initiative to promote resiliency and mitigate burnout among current and future clinicians through academic-practice partnerships and high-quality trainings. The initiative supports front-line workers through evidence-based mindfulness approaches focused on resiliency, compassion, and spiritual health.
In partnership with Grady Health System, Emory University, and Emory Health System Police and Public Safety Departments, ARROW bolsters and complements existing peer support resources at our practice partners’ organizations. Collectively, ARROW is the product of faculty content experts and staff from Emory University's Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, School of Medicine, Rollins School for Public Health, and Spiritual Health within the Woodruff Health Science Center.
CAPACITY
The Community Academic Partnership for Primary Care Nursing Transformation (CAPACITY) program is designed to increase the number of nurses working in community-based primary care settings, particularly among medically underserved populations.
The program's purpose is to train undergraduate nursing students and currently practicing RNs to practice to the full scope of their licenses as part of interprofessional teams in community-based primary care clinics.
CAPES Academy
The CAPES Academy prepares nurses to serve as clinical nursing faculty and preceptors to newly hired or transitioning licensed nurses within a variety of care settings in health professional shortage areas.
CAPES is designed to optimize health equity and increase access to care by recruiting 128 trainees from medically underserved areas in the Southeast.
Emory In MOTION
Collaborating with community-based and public health organizations in the Atlanta area and Moultrie, Ga., Emory In MOTION aims to expand mobile health care services to nine Georgia counties with medically underserved populations.
Each mobile health unit is equipped to provide nurse-led, quality health care. Emory In Motion is an immersive clinical experiential platform involving 28 pre-licensure and 12 advanced practice nursing students who are working to increase the number of patients served in these communities.
IMC Clinic
The Integrated Memory Care (IMC) Clinic is the first program of its kind in the nation, and its model is now available in select senior living communities in the Atlanta area.
Created with input from family caregivers, the IMC Clinic is a unique primary care practice to help families navigate the long road of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal degeneration, Lewy body dementia, cerebrovascular disease, and other causes. At the IMC Clinic, patients and their family care partners can receive multiple services at one location.
Roybal Center
Informal caregiving is the key to the quality of life and continued community living of persons with Alzheimer’s and similar illnesses; it is also a bulwark against rising health care costs.
The goal of the Emory Roybal Center for Dementia Caregiving Mastery is to support investigators across the nation to conduct NIH Stage I-III behavioral intervention research that will improve the lives of older adults and their families and also support the capacity of institutions to address societal aging.
