Clinical Placements outside the province are not readily available or guaranteed, and are only negotiable on a limited, case-by-case basis.

Distance delivery of the program is a combination of synchronous (live videoconference) and asynchronous (what one might term 鈥渙nline鈥�) modalities.听 In courses that are offered synchronously, classes are scheduled once a week for a 3-hour period.

NP students are required to be on site once a week for the first 7 weeks of the term in which they complete NURS5740, Advanced Health Assessment, for labs and OSCEs.听 On-site OSCEs are also completed in NURS5485, Principles and Theories for Nurse Practitioner Practice and NURS5487, Principles and Theories for Health and Disease Management in Family All Ages Nurse Practitioner Practice.
