Team Approach
The clinical staff members at Health Services work in one of four teams. Each team has a physician as well as varying numbers of nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and/or medical assistants. Also affiliated with the teams are psychologists, health educators, and a nutrition counselor. All of these professionals work together allowing for a comprehensive approach to care and service.
Once a student is assigned to a team, they are not required to stay with that team, although it is strongly encouraged. The team approach benefits both the student or patient/client and the team, because everyone has a chance to get to know each other by name, and a relationship is established. This relationship is fundamental and forms the basis for a positive experience during visits to Health Services.
