THE ADVANCED PRACTICUM PROGRAM |
Advanced Practicum is a broad
educational initiative designed for
Nurse Practitioners (NP) and Physician
Assistants (PA) who are interested in
postgraduate-level education and
training in important medical specialty
areas. The Advanced Practicum program
combines didactic educational components
with a focused clinical experience to
provide graduates with the knowledge and
skills to provide high quality care in
medical specialty areas, in any setting.
Advanced Practicum in Gastroenterology is
designed to provide specialized,
postgraduate-level training for NPs and
PAs who are recent graduates or
currently in practice and seeking a
career in the specialty area of
gastroenterology and hepatology. The
program addresses the history,
epidemiology, diagnosis and management
of gastroenterological diseases that are
frequently handled by NPs and PAs. All

| THE
CURRICULUM |
|
At Advanced Practicum.com you will find
online Courses in webcast format organized by
disease state areas and divided into specific
Classes. Elective classes offer additional
in-depth coverage on specific key data.
Participants register for a specific medical
specialty track (e.g. Liver or GI) and are able
to select and complete Courses and Classes
consistent with their medical and scientific
interests, and in any order they choose.
Curriculum progress for each participant will be
tracked on the website, allowing him/her to exit
the course and return at a later date with an
updated status on completed courses and classes.
Alternatively, participants may choose to
complete a scientifically rigorous educational
curriculum within a medical specialty track,
consisting of (10) mandatory core Courses, (4)
elective Classes, and online testing.
Participants must receive a pass rate of 80% or
greater on each class assessment, and all
modules in their registered track must be
completed within one year of registering for the
Program. Once an individual has successfully
passed each module assessment within their
registered track, they will receive a
"Certificate of Completion" for the track and be
eligible for a preceptorship. Additionally, AMA
PRA Category 1 Credits will be provided. |
