What is NEPQR?
Funded by the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), the overarching purpose of this project is to recruit and train nursing students and current registered nurses (RNs) from rural and underserved areas of Utah to practice at the full scope of their licenses as members and leaders of community-based primary care teams in order to increase access to care, with particular emphasis on chronic disease prevention and control.
