Full-time students can expect to complete the program in five semesters. A part-time plan of study can take up to seven semesters. The curriculum includes coursework in the following topics: Ethical Approaches to Practice Dilemmas, Models of Care: Transforming the Practice Environment, and Genetics and Immunology.
