My latest for aldotcom: Samford_Nursing is offering stipends for students interested in becoming nurse practitioners to serve in rural and underserved areas.

Williesha Morris | wmorris@al.com

Associate Dean for Scholarly Activity and nursing professor Stephanie Wynn, who researched and applied for the grant, said she was excited about how this grant will assist communities that don’t have enough internal, family medicine, or behavioral health providers. “We’re training our students to actually go work in our state and take care of populations to address those health equity issues and those social determinants of health issues that are seen in rural and medically underserved populations,” Wynn said.

“Health literacy is the degree in which our residents are able to understand information and the services that are available for them to make informed health-related decisions,” she said. Wynn said people, particularly older folks, go into healthcare settings and need help understanding what the medical professionals say to make informed consent decisions.
