Prerequisites: Minimum grade of B- in GNUR 413, GNUR 425, & GNUR 442.
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.

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.
