title: Development of an academic consortium for nurse-managed primary care.
abstract: This article describes the development of an academic consortium comprised of four universities and their schools and colleges of nursing. The initial efforts at collaboration arose from the need to obtain funding and address policy issues related to advanced practice issues at the state level. The developmental stages of the Michigan Academic Consortium are described within a framework developed by Bailey and Koney (I).
