title: Worksite "lunch and learn": a collaborative teaching project.
abstract: Overall, the collaborative teaching project in community health nursing was successful in meeting the needs of students, faculty, the HMO, the employer, and the community. Health education program outcomes and the lessons learned from the processes indicated the collaboration should continue and be expanded. In subsequent academic years, faculty and HMO staff worked to identify additional employer groups and to make this type of learning experience available to a larger number of nursing students. As career paths diverged, this specific collaboration dissolved. However, the opportunities and challenges observed in this collaborative teaching project have been carried forward into new collaborations.
