NoGAPP residents receive experience in both adult and pediatric primary care, as well as women’s health, behavioral health, and substance abuse services.
In addition to experiencing diverse clinical settings and patients, specially developed learning modules are provided to help enhance clinical reasoning, motivational interviewing, management of opioid use disorders, and many other topics of particular relevance to practice in these communities.
Time is also built into the residents’ schedules to participate in case conferences and quality improvement activities. At the end of the residency, FNPs will be fully productive members of the interprofessional care team, managing their patients and time with confidence and competence. There is also the option to apply for loan forgiveness at the conclusion of the residency year. Additional details on loan forgiveness can be found on the HRSA website.
The NoGAPP curriculum provides an immersive experience in community health.
To take advantage of the full experience, residents are expected to integrate with the community. Over the course of the year, residents will be exposed to five main areas for growth.
