Problem: Health promotion in underserved populations is a major emphasis among academic medical centers in the USA as they prepare the future provider workforce for community based inter-professional healthcare delivery. Approach: This paper provides a survey report of nursing student’s response regarding their participation at an interprofessional community partnership health fair and research project (The 2015 Costa Layman Health Fair and Cardiometabolic Risks in Hispanic Farmworkers (CHARM) Study). With a full complement of inter-professional faculty and student teams, its core mission is to provide student training and to promote the health of the Hispanic farm-workers.
