ENRICH Director: Mary Dolansky, Student: Mino Chough, Chester Nguyen, Paula Ryu, and Dori Nurzynski
Enhancing Career Horizons
The CWRU School of Nursing ENRICH Fellowship provides an opportunity for pre-licensure nursing students to experience primary care services. During a paid work experience with inter professional primary care staff/mentors, students explore future career opportunities, and employers network with and mentor talented and highly skilled students, further developing the talent pipeline for primary care.
For more information on how to partner with us, please contact Patricia Burant at pab75@case.edu
