Emory In MOTION

Emory in MOTION is a collaboration that aims to expand mobile health care services to nine Georgia counties with medically underserved populations. Each mobile health unit will be equipped to provide nurse-led, quality health care. The four-year project expands on the school's long-standing partnerships with community-based and public health organizations in both the metro Atlanta area and Moultrie, Ga.

The program is an immersive clinical experiential platform for 28 pre-licensure and 12 advanced practice nursing students. With this program, nursing students across the BSN, Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, and Family Nurse Practitioner programs will work to increase the number of patients served in these communities by 20 percent using culturally appropriate linguistic and health literacy approaches and innovative technology solutions.

Emory in MOTION will include Implementation of five web-based professional development modules related to social determinants developed by diverse nursing faculty and shared with faculty, preceptors, and GA RNs through Emory Nursing’s continuing education platform.

MSN (FNP, AGPCNP tracks) and BSN-junior nursing students selected to participate in the program will receive scholarship support and will complete at least 80 clinical hours in mobile health environment at one of the community-based organizations such as Boat People SOS or Atlanta Harm Reduction Coalition. The grant will also fund creation and deployment of professional development modules related to social determinants of health for preceptors, and GA RNs working or transitioning into nurse-led mobile primary care settings.
