CAC-Florida Medical Centers (CAC) has entered into an agreement with the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies to provide community-based clinical experiences for nursing students. The new partnership will be offered at CACs Westland and Little Havana medical centers in Miami-Dade County, where students will have the opportunity to participate in on-site clinical patient care under the supervision of CAC-registered nurse trainers.
The program was created to expand the schools clinical experiences for nursing students working toward their bachelor of science in Nursing degree. Students will conduct nursing assessments; document vital signs; take patient histories; provide patient education; and, assist with wound care and injections under the supervision of CAC-registered nurse preceptors and physicians. Students may also have the opportunity to participate in community outreach through CAC-sponsored health screening and disease prevention programs.
