Cerebral Palsy (Pediatric Focus)


A professional practice gap analysis identified that primary care nurses lack dedicated instruction on the management of a child with cerebral palsy. Two of UT Austin School of Nursing's recent graduates of our PNP program decided to close this gap by offering this online course.
The format of the course is set as an informative voice-over Power Point presentation that will give the primary care nurse practitioner the latest information regarding predisposing factors, diagnosis and management of this common pediatric complication.
