Elizabeth “Fizzy” Ramsey, PA-C

Mentor

"Primary care shortages are prevalent in most counties in Kentucky and the need for well-trained primary care clinicians escalates annually. Taking on a typical patient load as a new graduate is overwhelming and without preparedness this sense of overwhelm can contribute to early clinician burnout or poor retention. Cumberland Family Medical Center’s Residency Program provides the opportunity for new Nurse Practitioners to master the hard skills of analyzing health data, meeting chart requirements, and navigating computer systems among numerous primary care settings. This vital training allows their soft skills to shine through and elevates the quality of patient care. The program includes additional didactic training and clinical feedback, further improving their clinical skills and preparedness. I’m glad to be a small part of this program and look forward to its continued success."

Juanita “Buffy” House, APRN

Mentor

“The Nurse Practitioner Residency Program allows new NP's the opportunity to sharpen their skills in specialty rotations. Some health care providers graduate having never had the opportunity to perform a pelvic exam, breast exam, or pap smear. The residency program specialty rotations give them an opportunity to develop skills that may be expected of them in rural health settings.”

Alison Claunch, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, CEN

Mentor

“This is an excellent opportunity to expand your knowledge base, learn and fine tune new skills, and most of all, develop the confidence necessary for autonomous practice.”

Molly B. O’Neal, DNP, APRN

Mentor

"There is a clear national need to help nurse practitioners transition to practice. Especially in rural areas, opportunities for support can be limited. The opportunity offered here allows novice NPs to develop their skills and confidence in a methodical way. Just knowing that someone is there if you have questions can be a game changer."

Jamie Blakeman, APRN

Mentor

“The Nurse Practitioner Residency program is a wonderful opportunity for any new NP. I wish I had the opportunity when I graduated. We have enjoyed having a Resident in our office. They have been an asset to our practice. The program is very well organized with the Residents getting a good foundation of primary care while also experiencing all the specialties that Family Medical Center offers.”

Emily Goodlett, APRN

Mentor

“I have enjoyed being a part of this residency program. I feel it truly benefits new Nurse Practitioners. The way it incorporates seeing patients along with additional resources to expand skill sets is fantastic. It helps take a lot of fear and stress away so they can focus on providing the best patient care all while developing their confidence. I'm so excited for everyone that gets to be a part of this program.”

Amanda England, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC

Former Resident

“I have learned so much during my residency. My mentors have been incredibly supportive and helpful with any questions I had. I have had the opportunity to learn and perform skills I was not exposed to during my clinicals, such as suturing, which gave me more confidence in my practice. The didactic sessions extend learning on information gained during the NP program, such as reading EKGs, antibiotic stewardship, etc. The Nurse Practitioner Residency Program should be implemented across the state to improve the confidence of all new NPs. I am thankful for the opportunity to participate in Cumberland Family Medical's, and Kentucky's, first Nurse Practitioner Residency Program.”

Cassie South Jessie, MSN, APRN

Former Resident

“The residency program has helped me bridge the gap between student and experienced provider. The program places an emphasis on personal mentorship, didactic learning opportunities, and hands-on experience in clinics serving patients across their lifespan. Being a Nurse Practitioner Resident with CFMC has given me the confidence and skills necessary to provide high quality care to any patient that I encounter.”

Sarah Lay, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

Former Resident

“The residency program has allowed me to work in many specialty areas and gain more knowledge and skill in those areas. I appreciate the mentors at each clinic and their willingness to teach and answer any questions I may have.”
