Abstract
Rural nurse practitioners (NPs) fill a desperate need for obstetric and gynecologic health care in remote areas of Arkansas. They often provide care for many counties and travel from clinic to clinic daily. The rural NPs are often on their own and do not have the option to call a colleague into the patient's room for a consultation. This sometimes creates a situation where rural NPs feel isolated and alone in practice. The Arkansas Health Department and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences began a new collaboration in July 2009 to improve resources and support for the rural NP.
