NURS-627 Clinical Practicum: Primary Care of the Adult-Gerontology Population II

This AGNP clinical practicum experience continues to focus on the care of clients throughout the adult-gerontology population. Working with approved preceptors in designated clinical sites, students build on concepts from previous theoretical and clinical courses to provide culturally responsive care for clients from adolescent through older adult and frail elderly. Utilizing evidence-based practice and clinical guidelines, students will demonstrate further development of competencies in advanced assessment, diagnosis, management and evaluation of increasingly complex, common acute and chronic conditions for clients in primary care settings. Care of diverse, vulnerable and underserved populations is emphasized. Students are required to function safely in the clinical setting and meet the identified clinical competencies for the adult-gerontology population with increasing independence and a moderate amount of guidance.
