The School of Nursing at York University currently offers a Master of Science in Nursing (MScN)-Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner (PHCNP) Program which combines two components: 1. A master’s degree and 2. The NP component. To allow for applicants with previous master’s degrees to pursue the NP program in Ontario (without needing to repeat a second master’s degree), several Schools of Nursing, which are a part of the nine-school consortium, began offering a Graduate Diploma. Thus, we propose to introduce a Graduate Diploma with the identical curriculum, content, and learning objectives of the current nurse practitioner program that York already delivers as a part of the MScN-PHCNP program, but without the MScN courses. The PHCNP curriculum is developed as a part of the consortium, and as a member of that consortium, York University School of Nursing participates in, but does not solely create or modify its content. Students will engage in clinical placements as they progress through their five clinical courses. Each PHCNP university site has its own clinical placement catchment area, and placement coordinators for each university organize student placements within the university-specific area. Placements include primary care, acute care, long-term care, as well as specialty and sub-specialty medicine. All these activities already occur at York University.
