Whether the participant is a new NP or PA, a practitioner transitioning to geriatrics, or an expert provider moving to a new field, the 12-month program uses the latest evidence-based practice to mitigate learning gaps and upskill providers to gain confidence and competence in geriatrics.
In addition to clinical didactic experiences, participants engage in case discussions, journal clubs, and individual mentorship opportunities to enhance their clinical reasoning, critical thinking, and evidence-based practice skills. The program also emphasizes cultural competence, patient advocacy, and interprofessional collaboration to prepare nurse practitioners to deliver holistic, patient-centered care to the elderly in a variety of healthcare settings.
