Great question. There are several ways to find a provider. First, remember that in most states a provider can by a physician or a nurse practitioner. I see some of the recommendations already provided which are great. Also consider, schools of nursing and urgent care clinics. Most importantly, you have to develop a relationship with a provider for them to get to know you and know your skill set while developing trust. Invite people to the camp – show them around. Give them an understanding of your camp health services. My willingness to sign standing orders is directly related to my comfort level with the camp requesting my support.

In response to Andrea – yes – the provide should be licensed in the same state as the camp. Prescribers do not have inter-state licensing opportunities at present.

I know finding a provider can take some time, but if you do it right, they will support you for many years. It is a relationship business for sure.
