The catalog description seems to be describing a CNS, not an APHN. Is this an error? No, this is a
CNS specialty. We have Adult/Gerontology, Pediatric and Advanced Public Health.

The syllabus for this version of the externship is very different from the other three. It seems to
be arranged more like a lecture, with weekly meetings, readings from a textbook, and discussion
topics. It almost reads more like a lecture course than an independent study-type course. Is this
course fundamentally different from 539A/C/D, and if so, should it be coded differently?
It is an externship course like the others (should be coded the same) but because there is less
content about advanced public health nursing in the theory course, the faculty like the students
to do more reading on the topic so that they are prepared for clinical. The faculty does post
conference every two weeks like the others. It is not a theory course. The DrPH nursing faculty
are considering a joint MSN/MPH for this in the future but currently this is a CNS specialty.
