Statement of Learning Need

Health professionals need to know the recommended screening tests that support early detection and prevention of diseases associated with morbidity and mortality when left undiagnosed and untreated. Health strategies across geographic and national boundaries are continuously developing with a high focus on social, economic, environmental and other factors linked to patterns of disease. Healthy populations require that health prevention research and policies move beyond a sole standardized model and that interdisciplinary health teams participate in the implementation of screening guidelines throughout the lifespan.

Course Purpose 

To provide members of the interdisciplinary health team with knowledge of recommended preventive health screening tests and techniques to promote a healthy population.

Target Audience

Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, Registered Nurses, and other Interdisciplinary Health Team Members.
