This on campus intensive experience provides the AG-ACNP student with exposure to human high fidelity simulation and standardized patient experiences to enhance their diagnostic reasoning skills, communication skills, critical thinking skills, ability to apply concepts covered in the didactic courses, and ability to medically manage adult and gerontology patients in the acute care setting. The simulated patient situations allow students to experience clinical situations in a safe environment where they can perform advanced physical assessment, establish differential diagnoses, implement management strategies, enhance communication skills, and determine final disposition of complex patients. In addition, students will have the ability to practice advanced skills such as point of care ultrasound and enhance their advanced EKG interpretation skills and advanced radiographic interpretation skills through interactive workshops.
