In the Long-Term Care (LTC) setting, comprehensive primary care is often provided by Nurse Practitioners (NPs). NPs are uniquely positioned to meet the evolving primary care needs of LTC residents. However, caring for this population requires additional education and training due to its special considerations. To meet the learning needs of NPs entering the LTC workplace, a Certificate Program was designed to enhance primary care competencies within the LTC setting. The aim of the program is to increase knowledge, capacity, and confidence of NPs to deliver quality, evidence-based, integrated, and interprofessional primary care to LTC residents. This curriculum is anticipated to address the growing need for LTC services and improve the delivery of high-quality primary care.
在长期护理（LTC）环境中，通常由执业护士（NPs）提供全面的初级保健服务。NPs 处于独特的位置，可以满足 LTC 居民不断发展的初级保健需求。然而，由于其特殊考虑因素，照顾这一人群需要额外的教育和培训。为了满足进入 LTC 工作场所的 NPs 的学习需求，设计了一个证书课程，以增强 LTC 环境中的初级保健能力。该计划的目的是提高 NPs 的知识、能力和信心，为 LTC 居民提供优质、基于证据的、综合的和跨专业的初级保健。预计该课程将满足对 LTC 服务不断增长的需求，并改善高质量初级保健的提供。
