Today, lectures and active learning have been cast as competing opposites. In fact, they can be quite effective when used together. Interactive lectures combine engaging lecture segments with selected active learning methods. Using Silver and Perini’s (2010) Interactive Lecture Cycle in 4 Phases, you will learn to plan and implement an interactive lecture that incorporates memory-enhancing techniques into your instruction.

In this course, students will focus on the integration of assessment, the nursing process, and applied theory in primary health care management of individuals across the lifespan who are who are experiencing acute or acute on chronic health alterations. Students use concepts from nursing, nutrition, pharmacology, and biopsychosocial sciences to determine the most appropriate and cost effective tests, interventions, and/or pharmaceutical regimes to optimize health and wellness.
The course provides a clinical learning experience that assists the nurse practitioner (NP) student with integration and application of assessment and management skills utilizing a collaborative model of primary health care practice. Relevant conceptual and theoretical frameworks as well as the teaching-coaching role of the NP in primary health care management are integrated in class discussions. The student will become increasingly independent in their clinical decision-making skills and ability to manage select health concerns across the lifespan in a primary health care practice setting. Documentation will be completed in the problem oriented format to facilitate organization of the client data.
There are many different grading methods and each method assesses learning and provides feedback in different ways too. During this workshop both formal and informal assessment methods are explored as well as rubric creation, giving feedback and using technology, like generative AI, to assist in assessment.
