• A thorough introduction to the core principles of advanced practice, including the AP curriculum and the principles of physiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology
• Comprehensive exploration of the clinical pillar, including discussions of clinical history taking and physical examination
• Practical discussion of the education and research pillars, including an exploration of research principles and education and learning
