RESUMO
More well-trained mental health professionals serving rural and minority populations are needed. This article describes an intensive clinical experience for psychiatric mental health nursing graduates in the rural, culturally diverse Tri-Cities (Pasco, Richland, and Kennewick) of Washington. Before discussing the short-term learning experience and outcomes, the social history of the area is explained because of its impact on current health needs and the kinds of learning opportunities available. In addition, personal reflections of student participants are included.
