By Camryn Banks and Sarah T. Moore

At the end of the 2022-23 academic year, registered nurse Cynthia Moore retired after working at Elon for over 14 years. Registered nurses are licensed through the North Carolina Board of Nursing and, according to the NCBON, their role within a medical practice includes the implementation and evaluation of patient care.

Elon Student Health Services currently has two physician assistants, two primary care nurse practitioners and three certified medical assistants on staff.
