Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc.Oct 18 2023 On any given Monday or Thursday in downtown Houston, inside the University of Houston nurse-managed clinic, you can catch a glimpse of why nursing is called the "caring profession." The clinic, on the grounds of St. Paul's United Methodist Church, serves Houston's homeless community, drawing in patients from the Emergency Aid Coalition, an interfaith organization also located at the church.
Now, the UH College of Optometry has joined offering eye screenings and access to glasses for those in need. "When students and faculty work together the care of individuals becomes more complete," said Kathryn Tart, founding dean and professor at the Andy and Barbara Gessner College of Nursing. We must have outcomes to show the impact that eye and vision care will make as we strive for models of care within communities. Nurse-managed clinics are a new model of care and interprofessional education helps our students understand how to work together into the future as healthcare professionals.
