In this specialty track, there are 5 practicum courses:
 NR511 Differential Diagnosis and Primary Care
 NR601 Primary Care and the Maturing and Aged Family
 NR602 Primary Care of the Childbearing and Childrearing Family
 NR603 Advanced Clinical Diagnosis and Practice Across the Lifespan
 NR661/667 APN Capstone Course
125 hours are required in each clinical course for a total of 625 clinical hours.
Practicum sites need not correspond with the topic of the current course, but it is
expected that the student will seek clinical placement to ensure a well-rounded clinical
experience. During the entire program, experience should include well-child and acute
visits for children from birth through young adulthood as well as adult visits focusing on
management of acute and chronic illness and wellness. The student should be able to
display a variety of decision-making complexity by means of documenting the office
evaluation and management (E&M) code for the visit.
