Abstract

Faculty practice and health promotion are topics of interest to nursing faculty to prepare students and themselves for the future. Health promotion with vulnerable populations is a focus for the 21st century health care delivery system. Faculty practice emphasizing health promotion with a vulnerable population meets the needs of faculty as they strive to meet personal and professional goals. The development of a faculty practice serving a vulnerable population represented by clients in a community corrections facility will be described. Scope of practice, the development of a research focus, teaching approaches, and future initiatives are presented.
