LTC residents are increasingly unstable, unpredictable and in need of complex care due to high levels of frailty requiring an integrated interprofessional approach to care. LTC is a specialty practice area and requires additional education and training.
This curriculum was developed to support nurse practitioners and nurse practitioner students working or planning to work in the LTC setting. This program will enhance role clarity, build clinical capacity, improve LTC resident outcomes and satisfaction while contributing to NP optimization, integration and retention.
Through a series of modules completed asynchronously, nurse practitioners/nurse practitioner students can expect to obtain increased knowledge, capacity and confidence to deliver quality, evidence based, integrated and interprofessional primary care to LTC residents.
