The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office recently welcomed the first group of nursing students from South College School of Nursing as part of an innovative educational partnership designed to expand clinical learning opportunities beyond traditional healthcare settings.
Nursing students Tia Hopson and Brooke Elliott completed their clinical experience with the Coroner’s Office, spending the day alongside Chief Deputy Murphy Evans. During their visit, the students reviewed cases, discussed investigation challenges with deputy coroners, and listened to a presentation conducted by a forensic pathologist to gain a deeper understanding of forensic and postmortem investigations.
The partnership provides nursing students with valuable insight into aspects of patient care and outcomes that are not often seen during traditional nursing education. By exposing students to forensic processes and interdisciplinary collaboration, the experience helps broaden their understanding of the full continuum of healthcare.
“This partnership represents an innovative way to broaden nursing education,” Coroner Jeff Jellison said. “By giving students a firsthand look at the work we do, we can help them better understand the full continuum of care and the importance of every role within it.”
The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office looks forward to continuing and expanding the partnership with South College School of Nursing to support the next generation of healthcare professionals through hands-on, real-world learning experiences.
