Current health issues are analyzed and discussed with a focus on health outcomes. Experiential Learning: Students design a population health innovation proposal that may be a care delivery model, medical product, educational intervention, or technology focused on an aggregate in the student’s community to demonstrate and apply knowledge, skills and attitudes required in population health nursing practice.
