Rebecca Sutter, GMU, MAP Clinics/ Nursing
As a doctorally trained and credentialed Family Nurse Practitioner, Dr. Sutter established and managed a faculty-driven nurse-managed clinic from 2003-2012, in collaboration with a large community college nursing program. These clinics provided comprehensive primary and preventive health services across the lifespan and served low income, immigrant populations. This model was unique in that it also provided community-based learning experiences for undergraduate nursing students. Currently, Dr. Sutter serves as the Mason and Partners Clinic Director and has successfully launched numerous academic nurse-managed health centers where she has become an expert in the bridge model of care. She uses the academic nurse-managed clinics, which are strategically located in medically underserved areas (MUA), to utilize this model of care. She provides services to an underserved and vulnerable population and conducts translational research on evidence-based care for vulnerable populations. She has completed her AAS in Nursing from Marymount University in 1993, MSN from George Mason University in 2001 and DNP from George Mason University in 2012.
