title: School-based clinics: overcoming the obstacles.
abstract: Obstacles to the establishment of school-based clinics are investigated to determine possible strategies for the future. The current social environment necessitates a health care model that provides increased access and improved outcomes for children in particular. The advanced registered nurse practitioner is an integral part of the school-based clinic. Although opposition to school-based clinics has been well organized in the past, proponents are learning new ways to deal with this challenge.
