Program Requirements

** New Program. This program replaces the (M.Sc.A.) Nursing (Non-Thesis): Primary Care Practitioner. **

The concentration was developed in order to train graduate-level nurses to take on this advanced practice role. Primary Care Nurse Practitioners assume responsibility for tasks related to physical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment within legally sanctioned, pre-determined conditions that have traditionally been exclusive to medical practice. The Primary Care concentration focuses on a wide range of acute and chronic health concerns across the life span.
