This course will introduce the DNP student to clinical decision making and evidence-based practice for the provision of primary care to individuals across the lifespan. Utilizing the case narrative format and DNP Competencies as a framework, the student will analyze clinical decisions and apply evidence for best practice. Case studies derived from complimentary practicum that reflect the critical thinking skills needed to diagnose and manage acute and chronic illness will be presented and critiqued.
The clinical practicum is designed to assist the student in the application of the principles of primary care learned in Diagnosis and Management I. The student is prepared to provide primary health care for patients, across the lifespan, in an outpatient setting. This course will focus on health care maintenance, diagnosis and management of commonly encountered illnesses in primary care.
This simulation course engages the AG-ACNP student in a variety of controlled practicum scenarios. The course offers the AG-ACNP student a simulated clinical environment and allows for integration of previous didactic and clinical knowledge to develop complex decision making skills
Research in an area of Mechanical Engineering culminating in a verbal presentation and a written thesis document approved by the thesis advisor. Must obtain permission from a thesis advisor to enroll. Recommended enrollment for two terms, one of which can be the summer. A maximum of 6 points of masters thesis may count towards an MS degree , and additional research points cannot be counted. On completion of all masters thesis credits, the thesis advisor will assign a single grade. Students must use a department recommended format for thesis writing.
The goals of this course are to provide students with a knowledge and understanding of the actions of drugs in order to enable them to use therapeutic agents in a rational and responsible manner in patients. Initially, basic principles of pharmacology will be reviewed (from N5375 course), including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs by the body. Drug-receptor interactions will also be presented and illustrated with appropriate examples. The focus of these lectures will be case-based whenever possible to demonstrate the therapeutic application of these pharmacologic principles and how this translates into efficacy and potential toxicity.

This is the first of three consecutive courses focusing on utilizing a systems and developmental approach in primary care. This course will focus on the differential diagnosis and comprehensive care management of commonly encountered acute and chronic physical and mental health illnesses as they affect individuals across the lifespan. For each system studied, health assessment, diagnostic findings, and multi-modal management will be highlighted.
This course provides the graduate midwifery student with theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the antepartum period emphasizing essential physiology and management within the context of social and reproductive justice.
This course addresses sexual and reproductive health issues and the diagnosis and management of essential health conditions. Measured outcome disparities and social justice issues will be presented as they relate to sexual and reproductive health.
This class builds upon the principles learned in the two foundational courses of the subspecialty in Women’s Health: Comprehensive Women’s Health and Advanced Care for the Childbearing Year. The student will perform and document women's health and/or antepartum physical exams in both laboratory practice and clinical settings focusing on health promotion and maintenance.
Nurse-Midwifery services provide intensive clinical experience in all areas of nurse-midwifery practice. Direct student teaching is provided by nurse-midwifery preceptors affiliated with the program.

This course is the first in a series of four, which applies the Patient Management Model to musculoskeletal conditions associated with the knee and ankle. Examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention and outcome assessment for the knee and ankle are linked with diagnostic imaging and conservative and surgical management. Interventions integrate joint and soft tissue manual therapy techniques with therapeutic exercise. Emphasis is placed on clinical decision- making and evidenced-based practice in individuals with orthopedic conditions. Exercise applications that are utilized throughout lifespan that address identified impairments; activity and participation limitations are emphasized. Students will apply clinical decision-making strategies to practice, design, modify and progress exercise programs with proper biomechanical alignment and proper muscle balance for optimal performance. This coursewill be given in a flipped hybrid- learning format consisting of traditional face-to-face classroom time, asynchronous on-line video lectures, as well as fac eface classroom time for higher level activities to solve problems and apply what has been learned outside the classroom to new situations. The active learning strategies facilitate “thinking on your feet.”

Seminar in Pediatric Primary Care Nursing I is designed to provide PNP students an academic environment to integrate the Columbia University School Of Nursing (CUSON) DNP competencies into clinical encounters. Students will draw upon current pediatric trends, historytaking and assessment skills, and common diagnoses and apply that knowledge to the clinical encounter format. They will engage in class discussions that will strengthen their ability to apply health promotion into their advanced practice. Students will be expected to facilitate a class dialogue and offer appropriate references.
