Time, tact, talent, and trust: essential ingredients of effective academic-community partnerships

Nurs Educ Perspect. 2005 Jul-Aug;26(4):217-20.

Abstract

Building strong partnerships between academic institutions and community health agencies requires a commitment to time, tactful communications, talented leaders, and trust. The essential elements of partnership building are discussed based on experiences of a mid-Atlantic nursing center, an academic health center established to provide care to underserved and vulnerable populations.
