AGNP AC DxMgmt Older Adult

In this 150 hour acute care clinical experience, adult gerontology, acute care nurse practitioner students collaborate with preceptors to provide care for older adults and their families in the acute care setting. Students apply the principles of assessment, diagnosis and treatment of acute and episodic health issues of older adults in a clinical practice site. Patient education, advocacy and evidence-based practice are incorporated in a holistic approach to providing comprehensive care. Students will meet periodically throughout the semester in a seminar designed to support achievement of learning outcomes.
