March 18 — Nurse practitioner faculty present at statewide conference
Two Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing family nurse practitioner faculty presented at the 42nd Annual California Association for Nurse Practitioners (CANP) Educational Conference in San Diego March 14-17. Ricky Norwood, an assistant clinical professor who also practices and mentors students in the Sacramento County Health Center, presented the poster, “PTSD Screening with a Focus on Refugees,” with his fellow clinicians from the county and a refugee health clinic. The poster detailed the group’s study of a screening tool used to identify post-traumatic stress disorder among Middle Eastern and Afghan male refugees. The providers determined the tool was successful in the prevention, identification, education and early treatment of PTSD and enabled providers to improve the quality of primary care for these individuals. Assistant Clinical Professor Gordon Worley, a wilderness first aid expert, presented “Humanitarian Volunteering on a Real-World Schedule,” where he shared his experiences volunteering to drive supplies and care for patients in free clinics in Mexico. He also presented “My What Big Teeth You Have: The Assessment and Current Pharmacologic Treatment of Western Venomous Snakebites.”
