The Primary Health Care Nursing Practitioner Graduate Diploma program is a collaborative course-based consortium program. Students will be prepared to provide collaborative and autonomous primary health care to individuals, groups, or communities, with an emphasis on health promotion as well as illness/injury prevention. Students will develop advanced assessment, diagnostic and clinical reasoning skills in preparation for ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, communicating diagnoses, prescribing pharmaceuticals, and performing other specific controlled procedures.

The Primary Healthcare Nurse Practitioner Program at the University of Windsor is approved by the College of Nurses of Ontario (www.cno.org). Current graduates from this program are eligible to apply for Extended Class registration as a Nurse Practitioner in Ontario.
