Description
This course emphasizes advocacy of populations and addresses issues, trends, and patterns of health at local, national and international levels. By doing a thorough community assessment at assigned clinical sites, students will identify community problems and concerns. In collaboration with key persons at their clinical site, students will plan, implement, and evaluate an intervention specific to their clinical community. Nursing activities that promote the health of populations and that advocate for the marginalized will be stressed. Theories and principles of public health national policy and public health nursing will be analyzed and incorporated in both the didactic and clinical components of the course.
