In this course students will continue to develop specialized knowledge and skills in advanced public health nursing (PHN) and the delivery of population health care within the context of inter-professional practice. Students will gain a greater understanding of the use of data in planning interventions, evidence-based public health, and the role of advocacy for policy and social change. The focus of the course will be on the assessment and development of culturally-competent interventions targeted at community and population levels through a practicum experience.
