Building pediatric nurse practitioner pipeline goal of Akron Children’s, UA partnership
Akron Children’s hospital and the University of Akron are joining forces to train more future pediatric nurse practitioners to care for the region’s young patients. The partners have created a dual faculty appointment for UA’s Master of Science in Nursing Child and Adolescent Health Nurse Practitioner Primary Health Care track. The new appointment aims to grow the program, improve its curriculum, support student clinical placements and create a pipeline for graduating UA students to find full-time employment at Akron Children’s.
