Major societal changes over the past two decades have created the need for competent health care professionals able to provide high quality health care in a rapidly changing, highly technical society. To meet this goal, the University of Northern Colorado College of Health and Human Services prepares graduates in a unique multidisciplinary health promotion clinic. Department chairs along with clinic and faculty coordinators manage student-learning and client-service activities in this 9,000-square-foot, on-campus clinic. Income is generated through third-party payments and client fees from programs in nursing, nutrition, communication disorders, human rehabilitative services, and community health. Problems encountered in developing this clinic included staffing, physician consultation, fee assessment, faculty hesitancy, and health care competition. Positive outcomes were a more autonomous professional identity for students, clinic practice and research opportunities for faculty, and health promotion care for selected client groups.
在过去二十年中，社会发生了重大变革，这就需要有能力的医疗保健专业人员，能够在快速变化、技术高度发达的社会中提供高质量的医疗保健服务。为了实现这一目标，北科罗拉多大学健康与人类服务学院在一个独特的多学科健康促进诊所培养毕业生。系主任与诊所及教师协调员共同管理这座位于校园内、面积达9000平方英尺的诊所内的学生学习和客户服务活动。收入来自第三方支付以及护理、营养、沟通障碍、人类康复服务和社区健康项目的客户费用。在开办这个诊所过程中遇到的问题包括人员配备、医生咨询、费用评估、教师的犹豫态度以及医疗保健竞争。积极成果包括学生获得了更自主的职业身份、教师获得了临床实践和研究机会，以及为特定客户群体提供了健康促进护理服务。
