Women's Health Nurse Practitioner II

This is the second in a series of four courses (two didactic; two clinical) which assist students to develop the role of Women's Health Nurse Practitioner. The focus of this course is on the diagnosis and management of complex health issues affecting multicultural women across the life-span. It emphasizes the application of concepts, principles and skills needed to provide care for more complex obstetric and gynecologic health processes and problems of adolescents and adults frequently encountered by Women's Health Nurse Practitioners (WHNP's). The focus of this course is developing differential diagnoses for abnormal conditions, recognizing those issues within the scope of practice for WHNP's, and when referral to other health care providers is warranted
