Critical Care Concentration
Through intensive coursework and an eight-month clinical preceptorship, you’ll be equipped to deliver comprehensive assessment and management of acute physical health problems, as well as to provide education and consultation for families and health providers.
You’ll also learn how to coordinate services and to work collaboratively through interdisciplinary practice. Students may complete this 12 course-unit program in one calendar year as a full-time student. A part-time option is also available.
