The program reflects the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) core competencies and population focus competencies. 

This program is also approved for delivery via asynchronous distance education technology, with some required visits to Bryan, Texas, for clinical skill training and evaluation of diagnostic reasoning.
