This track prepares the student to utilize evidence-based guidelines while diagnosing and managing health problems of acutely and critically ill individuals across the adult lifespan. Adult-Gerontological Acute Care Nurse Practitioners work in acute and complex care settings such as critical care units, hospitalist or specialty services, and in other settings where patients can be physiologically unstable, technologically dependent, requiring frequent monitoring and intervention, and are highly vulnerable for complications.

The development of the curriculum is based on:

• The Criteria for Evaluation of Nurse Practitioner Programs (2016)
• The National Task Force on Quality Nurse Practitioner Education and other national advanced practice, specialty focused standards and guidelines (AACN Scope and Standards Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Practice, American Association of Critical Care Nurses 2017)
• The Adult-Gerontology Acute Care and Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Competencies (AACN 2016)
