In this 150-hour clinical experience, adult gerontology nurse practitioner students will provide direct patient care and collaborate with preceptors to provide care for patients requiring acute interventions across adulthood. Students will apply the principles of health assessment, diagnosis and treatment of acute health issues and exacerbation of chronic diseases requiring acute intervention in a clinical practice site. Patient education, advocacy, and evidence-based practice are incorporated in a holistic approach to provide comprehensive care. Students will meet periodically throughout the semester in a seminar designed to support achievement of learning outcomes.
