June 28 — Nursing faculty presents interprofessional program at international refugee conference
Amber Ramage, an assistant professor at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, presented “The RICE Project: Advancing Refugee Health and Education Through Interdisciplinary Collaboration” at the 2025 International Refugee and Migration Health Conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The poster showcases an educational program where a group of medical, NP, PA, social work and law students team up to support a newly arrived refugee family. Together, they make home visits throughout the school year to help the family navigate health care, legal and social services. The program involves students from the School of Nursing, UC Davis School of Medicine and University of the Pacific. Amber is a family nurse practitioner who works with the Sacramento Refugee Clinic. The conference is sponsored by the Society of Refugee Healthcare Providers, which is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of refugees and immigrants.
