One is for individuals interested in teaching didactic courses in a hybrid format such as advanced pharmacology, integrative primary care, and advanced pathophysiology. The second is for faculty interested in mentoring and advising students in their DNP scholarly projects. The third is teaching clinical courses, focusing on site visits and an opportunity to precept students in the clinical setting. In addition to teaching online and face-to-face courses and evaluating student competency, instructors are expected to respond to student questions through email and support student success. 

Each fall or spring course requires 10-12 hours per week for 15-16 weeks.
