Professor Kuo's educational research (funded through UCSF Medical Center and School of Nursing Clinical Nurse Research Award) was focused on IPE in the clinical setting, studying how interprofessional faculty preceptors adjust teaching and enhance IPE in the clinical setting for advanced practice nursing and medical learners. This project lead to the next phase which is a funded-trial for Interprofessional training for preceptors and learners in the clinical setting at San Francisco General Hospital. As a result, Professor Kuo has been on 3 HRSA training grants leading Preceptor Development Programs across California - with Central Valley Health Network, Redwood Community Health Coalition, and most recently with Lifelong Medical Care for NP residency training. These projects focus on training diverse NP students to train in Federally Qualified Health Centers to prepare them to provide quality care in Health Professions Shortage Areas, while also preparing clinicians as preceptors to grow their clinical teaching skill set.
