Students will be challenged to analyze the philosophical, scientific, and historical roots of population health and to consider the role which public health, economics, technology, public policy, and politics plays in developing and sustaining population health initiatives.
This course is a companion to NUR 978. It provides directed clinical/practicum experiences designed so the student is able to apply content from NUR 978 through exploring, participating in, and providing leadership related to selected aspects of population health. The instructor will work individually with each student to insure that the practicum responds to both the course objectives and the student's goals and learning needs. Enrollment in the College of Nursing and in NUR 978 are required to enroll in this course.
An elective course that provides students with an opportunity to explore a topic of interest under the direction of a faculty member. The end result should be negotiated between students and faculty and should yield a scholarly product. The minimum number of hours to be spent on the project and the means of evaluation will be decided before beginning the project. May be repeated to a maximum of 12 credits.
