A leadership role that merges the best of primary care nursing with public health practice. The program prepares advanced practice public health nurses for leadership positions in public, community, and occupational health. These courses are taught by faculty from both schools and count toward degree requirements of both schools. Students have community-based practice experiences under the direction of preceptors in key positions in local and regional agencies. The nature of the preceptorship will be related to the student's choice of a clinical specialty.
Students complete one thesis supervised by a committee of faculty from both schools.
