Advanced Practice Provider Postgraduate Certificate Program Curriculum

The Advanced Practice Provider Postgraduate Certificate Program’s clinical didactic curriculum is based upon the  Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requirements for Graduate Medical Education in Emergency Medicine, and the  American Board of Emergency Medicine  2011 Model of the Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine.

  3. A listing of medical knowledge, patient care, and procedural skills
