This FNP clinical practicum experience focuses on the comprehensive care of the pediatric population from birth through adolescence and the maternal health population in the primary care setting. Working with approved preceptors in designated pediatric and maternal health clinical sites, students will complete culturally responsive age and developmentally appropriate focused and comprehensive health assessments, perform health screenings, immunizations and provide health education/ risk reduction strategies. Utilizing evidence-based practice and clinical guidelines, students will focus on assessment, diagnosis, management and evaluation of common acute and stable chronic illness for pediatric and maternal health clients in the primary care setting. Care of diverse, vulnerable and underserved populations is emphasized. Students are required to function safely in the clinical setting and meet the identified clinical competencies for the pediatric and maternal health populations with increasing independence and moderate amount of preceptor guidance.
