Utilizing a background in basic physical assessment, advanced practice nursing students apply the didactic content introduced in N8786 to this clinical practicum. Advanced physical assessment skills and the identification of abnormalities in the physical exam and appropriate documentation are emphasized with a focus on the ability to integrate systems appropriately. The complete pelvic exam is included. As well as complete male genital exam.
This course will introduce the student to the epistemology and scholarship of practice and to lifelong learning. Using the DNP Competencies in Comprehensive Care as the framework, students will analyze clinical decision-making and utilization of evidence for best clinical practices in a variety of mental health settings. Individual plans for guided study will be mapped for each student. Clinical review and discussion of interesting, complex cases from the practice environment will facilitate the students’ development of the knowledge base and skills essential to the role of the psychiatric nurse practitioner.
Health in the United States has been on the decline for decades. From 2014-2017, life expectancy declinedand then returned to 2010 levels. This is a phenomenon that has only previously been seen with catastrophic epidemicsor with massivesocio-political disruptions.Other nations have the luxury of both declines in birth rates andwith ever-increasinghealth andlongevity. These trendsmay taxpension fundsand health systemsas the population ages, but it is a good problem tohave.Immigration brings healthy, younger workersto the workforceand more taxpayersand consumersto theoverallpopulation.In poor nations, reduced immigration also reducesremittances, allowing families to afford luxurieslike childhood vaccines and anti-diarrheal medicines.In this seminar, we will try to figure out what is wrong with the United Statesand line up policies to fix these problems. We will certainly look to other countries for solutions. But mostly, we will try to come up with our own, home grown ideas.

This course is designed to integrate foundation skills and strengthen the student's clinical practice in a variety of psychiatric mental health settings. The practicum is the first of two consecutive courses. Expectations of the clinical experience are direct patient contact (assessment, diagnosis, and treatment including medication management) and therapeutic interaction with staff, families, and systems. The student will develop a knowledge base and skills essential to the role of the advanced practice psychiatric nurse practitioner. Details of the practicum will be coordinated with the agency by faculty in line with courses objectives, agency objectives, and student education goals.
This course provides extended exposure to normal physiology and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system. Exploration of pathophysiological changes of the cardiovascular system and of evaluative techniques for identifying these changes will provide the student with knowledge critical to decision making in contemporary clinical practice. The course will cover examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention, and outcomes for patients with various cardiopulmonary disorders.

In the collaborative world of theatre, the director is at the helm. We, as stage managers, support the director’s creative process from rehearsals through opening night. What happens when the director leaves and turns over the maintenance of the production to the stage manager? This course will help give you the tools to meet that challenge. Beginning with rehearsals, how do we best observe directors so that we can understand and preserve their vision? In preparation for working with the cast, we will discuss the various acting methods. How do we prepare our script to direct cast replacements, incorporating script analysis and acting beats. We will also review the basics of directing and identify the most influential directors now, and in recent history.

This seminar will address visual media as a manifestation of the colonial relationship between Imperial Japan and its colonies between the 1870s and 1945. The class will begin with an examination of the newly established Meiji government’s annexation of Okinawa and Hokkaidō and will then consider Taiwan, Korea, and Manchuria. How did the colonial regime use visual media to promote it imperialist project? To what degree did colonial subjects adopt colonial visual modes of discourse? To what degree was it possible within that discourse for colonial subjects to resist or subvert Japanese domination? The seminar will analyze institutions such as museums and international expositions, tourism, and the folk craft movement.
The graduate seminar “Problems in Kano Painting,” is a graduate seminar offered periodically to investigate the hereditary lineage of painters that dominated the field of painting in Japan’s late medieval and early modern eras. This semester we will begin with the work of Kano Motonobu and his grandson Eitoku, but will spend most of our time focused on their descendants at the turn of the seventeenth century, particularly Kano Sanraku and Kano Sansetsu. The seminar address the question of how this clan of painters managed to secure its position as official painters to Japan’s rulers for nearly three centuries—a phenomenon unique in the history of art. We will also explore such topics as the ways in which it expanded its painting repertoire beyond its origins in monochrome ink painting, what is meant by an “academic” painting tradition in the Japanese context, its systems of training, promotion, and the economics of their enterprise, and the institutionalization of the Kano project through the writing of art historical treatises.
The function of a stage manager in the process of a musical – through the use of technological advances. This class will be an in-depth examination of how modern stage management contributes to this process through the implementation of seminal methodologies. Focus will be placed on how digital platforms can be used to support this process from beginning to end.
This graduate level laboratory course will involve application of advanced health assessment principles and skills for comprehensive examination of adult and older adult clients. Emphasis is placed on physical, psychosocial, and cultural assessments skills that are necessary to develop a comprehensive health assessment. This lab will focus on interviewing and history-taking, advanced physical assessment skills, diagnostic reasoning, and development of a plan of care. The clinical laboratory will emphasize techniques for identifying common normal and abnormal findings and documentation of these findings. Students will engage in actual practice with task trainers, fellow students, and Standardized Patients using simulated patient clinical encounters involving common health problems.

This is the first course in the Evidence Based Practice sequence that prepares students with the knowledge and skills to be an evidence-based practitioner. The American Physical Therapy Association’s Vision 2020 calls for physical therapists to “render evidence based services throughout the continuum of care.” The course emphasizes lifelong learning and the need for integrating the best available research into clinical practice. The curriculum in critical exploration is designed to provide students with knowledge and understanding of the purpose and methods of research in the biomedical, social and basic sciences relevant to the practice of physical therapy. The course introduces skills regarding ethics of clinical research, writing answerable questions, efficient and structured methods to find, appraise and apply relevant research, measurement theory, validity (internal and external), reliability and study designs.
