Abstract

Emergency department census rates and manpower gaps have continued to rise over the past decade, creating a demand for well-prepared emergency nurse practitioners (ENPs). The imple- mentation of the consensus model for advanced practice nurses has brought acknowledgment by leading health care, physician, and nursing organizations of the ENP specialty as critical to building a high-quality emergency care workforce. Recognition of the ENP’s unique skill set, and therefore need of specialty certification, has led to a growing interest in the expansion of nurse practitioner curricula in emergency care. This article describes a novel approach for ENP education based on an interprofessional training model, with an in-depth discussion of curriculum development and clinical placement, as well as program outcomes and implications. Key words: curriculum, emergency nurse practitioner, ENP, interprofessional education, specialty education, team skills MERGENCY DEPARTMENTS (EDs) are plaints to acute stabilization and resuscitation complex settings providing a wide of life-threatening conditions. According to E range of care to patients of all ages the Centers for Disease Control and Preven- ranging from community public health ser- tion (CDC), in 2014, there were 136,000,000 vices and management of minor health com- visits to EDs in the United States (CDC, 2011), which
