Burlison to act as nurse mentor in Zambia

— filed under: News, Zambia

The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Grant awarded $44 million to four partnerships in sub-Saharan Africa for the improvement of primary health care systems through support of integrated primary health care and health systems strengthening.

One of the grantees for this award is the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and its Zambian collaborators, the Center for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ). The program designed by UAB is entitled, “Clinical Mentoring and Community Engagement to Improve Health Outcomes.”

Under the program design, strengthening health systems through clinical mentoring will be one of the primary interventions within the program. Janeen Burlison, MSN, MPH, WHNP-BC, a graduate from the UAB School of Nursing and the UAB School of Public Health and current staff member at the Vanderbilt Institute for Global Health (VIGH), has been selected to provide mentorship to quality improvement teams in Zambia on a biannual basis. As a nurse mentor, she will work with the QI teams to develop their own examination and problem-solving skills, provide annual technical updates, and review cases together with the QI mentors and the district clinical staff.
