This practicum course guides the student toward a synthesis of content from nursing and related sciences and the application of this knowledge to the advanced practice role of Nurse Practitioner in primary care.

The student's level of performance is expected to progress throughout the clinical practicum from requiring assistance to becoming primarily independent.
Clinical seminars will include discussion of concepts introduced in previous courses with application to clinical practice. Seminars will include student and faculty-led discussions, case reviews, and guest speakers.
