        This sixteen-week course focuses on students developing an appreciation for the clinical and leadership roles expected of advanced practice nurses within the current and future national and international health care systems. Emphasis is placed on the breadth and depth of clinical competencies of the individual advanced practice nursing specialties and how to integrate these competencies into the collaborative interdisciplinary teamwork required to ensure quality, cost-effective, and accessible care within a variety of health care settings.  The health care environments and their components are analyzed using a systems approach to health care policy and financing. Concepts in organization structure and theory and political processes influencing health care policy are discussed. Synthesis of the course content facilitates transition to an advanced practice role, and promotes integration of the new functions and activities into professional practice.</dd>
