Nursing Faculty Practice GroupOur Mission The MCG, Nursing Faculty Practice Group (NFPG) provides a dynamic environment for talented clinicians, leaders, and educators to provide a broad range of services in a variety of acute care and community-based, multi-professional health care delivery models. These services improve population health through access to prevention, early intervention, disease management and referrals.
Our Vision To be a cornerstone for independent nurse managed practices with comprehensive clinical services, state of the science information technology, and infrastructure support. History The idea for establishing a School of Nursing Faculty Practice Group began in the early 1980's, and the first plan was approved by the School of Nursing General Faculty in the mid-eighties but did not sustain itself. When Dr. Lucy Marion became the Dean in 2004, she immediately began building a team to effectively establish and implement a faculty practice plan with a commitment to support practice as an essential component of the academic and research mission of MCG.
In October, 2005, the NFPG was recognized as a Cooperative Organization by the University System's Board of Regents, and School of Nursing faculty approved the Faculty Practice Plan and Bylaws in December of the same year. The NFGP was officially launched February 15, 2006 with over 50 members (all, full-time School of Nursing faculty). Last August, the NFPG officially received 501(C)3 tax exemption status and has since negotiated and implemented 18 faculty practice contracts for faculty practice activities. School of Nursing faculty members currently practice in the private sector and in community agencies as anesthesia providers, and as consultants in organizations that require specialized expertise in specific areas.
A beautiful new 3,767 square foot practice clinic now serves as a centerpiece for providing clinical services and training site opportunities for School of Nursing and School of Allied Health Sciences faculty and students. Conveniently located on the first floor of the new Health Sciences Building, the clinic currently provides community access for primary care services, tobacco cessation services, and cardiovascular screening.
