Why Is UTA Training Nurses Like Athletes
|
Chandler Browning always dreamed of being part of The University of Texas at Arlington’s nationally recognized nursing program and pursuing her goal of becoming a certified registered nurse anesthetist. Now in her first semester as a nursing student, she is experiencing firsthand UTA’s latest innovation in nursing education: treating nurses as “clinical athletes.”
The Clinical Athlete Framework applies performance science principles to the physical and cognitive demands of clinical practice, helping future nurses develop the strength, endurance and resilience needed to succeed in one of healthcare’s most demanding professions.

Courtney Jackson and Niyah Lewis represented a collaborative maternal health initiative at the 2026 CityMatCH Leadership & MCH Epidemiology Conference, presenting “Strengthening Doula Training and Evaluation Systems to Advance Maternal Health Equity in Urban Communities.”
The project is a community-academic collaboration between Luce Hicks, CEO and Founder of After Birth LLC, and The University of Texas at Arlington’s Department of Kinesiology, including Dr. Kyrah Brown’s Maternal Health and Reproductive Equity Lab. The collaboration brings together community-based doula expertise, public health, maternal health research, education, and program evaluation to strengthen doula training and workforce development.
The work focuses on developing structured, evidence-informed approaches to doula education and evaluation while maintaining the community-centered foundation of doula care. By strengthening training, competencies, professional support, and evaluation systems, the initiative seeks to better prepare doulas to support women and families and contribute to efforts to advance maternal health equity.
The project received national recognition when the conference poster was nominated for an Outstanding Poster Award based on CityMatCH abstract reviewer scores. The recognition highlights the value of community-academic partnerships in developing practical approaches to strengthening the maternal health workforce and addressing inequities in maternal health care and outcomes.
