A school-based clinic in a preschool.
Primary health care in a school-based clinic (SBC) for preschoolers is examined. Based on personal experience, a PNP describes an actual preschool SBC. The benefits of an on-site service for this age group include periodic and accurate developmental assessments and screening procedures and improved compliance with treatments and referrals. The process of establishing an SBC is presented in terms of management, funding, and resources.
