1 Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, and the Division of Continuing Education, University of Colorado School of Nursing, Denver

Greater utilization of these specially prepared and highly qualified nurse practitioners as providers of health care in the school is a practical and effective method of adding to the quality, availability, and continuity of health care for the school-age child.
