Advanced Clinical Practice concentration

The MSc(A) Nursing - Advanced Clinical Practice concentration is a two-year, 49-credit program. Part-time studies over three to five years are also an option, but class schedules must be discussed with and approved by the academic advisor. The core content of the ACP concentration prepares students for advanced practice nursing roles in diverse settings and with diverse populations. Content is organized around Strengths-Based Nursing, and focuses on such areas as family intervention, collaborative practice, and working with family strengths and resources. Through clinical courses, students engage in advanced clinical assessments and interventions and develop greater capacities to reflect purposefully and in-depth on their nursing practice. Students also develop knowledge of quantitative and qualitative research methods, engage in a systematic study of a clinically based nursing problem, and disseminate knowledge relevant to clinical practice.
