Rewarding careers.
The University of Utah Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence offers geriatric specialty preparation to master's and DNP students within our tradition of innovation in geriatric clinical practice, gerontology education, and aging research. Building on a commitment to universal geriatric education of all providers of adult clinical care, these nurse specialists will lead interdisciplinary practice and education of nurses to provide extraordinary health care to older adults.
Individualized learning opportunities will provide rewarding career paths for master's and DNP graduates: faculty at community colleges and universities, nurse practitioners, administrators and leaders.
