The NC AHEC Nursing Clinical Instructor Partner (CIP) program aims to increase nursing faculty through partnerships between academic nursing programs and practice organizations. This innovative clinical education model prepares qualified RNs to serve as clinical nursing instructors without leaving their clinical role in their practice organization. NC AHEC, NC academic nursing programs, and practice organizations partnered to launch the CIP program.
This program is for RNs with a BSN or higher who want to work as a clinical instructor in an LPN, ADN, or BSN program and stay in their current clinical practice role.

The opportunity for health begins where we live, learn, work and play.
North Carolina’s Healthy Opportunities Pilot program is an unprecedented opportunity to test the integration of evidence-based, non-medical interventions into the state’s Medicaid program. The Pilots will provide non-medical services to qualifying Medicaid members across four domains: housing, food, transportation and interpersonal violence/toxic stress. Critically, frontline care managers working in Pilot regions will play an essential role in identifying members that may benefit from Pilot services, recommending appropriate services and coordinating their care. Other staff working to support Pilot operations may find these trainings helpful to support their day-to-day work.

Building the skills and capacity for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) takes time to learn and integrate into patient care. For this reason, it is recommended that Healthy Opportunities Pilot staff complete additional trainings, such as Implicit Bias, Structural Racism, Communication in Healthcare, and Microaggressions.
