Adtalem (ATGE) & DaVita to Launch Nephrology Nursing Course
Adtalem Global Education Inc. ATGE has announced a collaboration with DaVita Inc., a prominent kidney care provider, to introduce a new "Introduction to Nephrology Nursing" curriculum. This initiative is part of the company’s Practice Ready Specialty Focused. (PRSF) program and will be offered at Chamberlain University, the largest online school of nursing in the United States.
The PRSF program is designed to equip pre-licensure nursing students with the skills and knowledge needed for high-demand healthcare specialties. Through this partnership, ATGE aims to expose students to the field of nephrology, offering them one-on-one clinical experiences with practicing nurses before graduation.
The collaboration with DaVita not only introduces students to nephrology but also provides invaluable first-hand clinical experience, giving them a strong foundation for a career in kidney care. ATGE and DaVita will work together to develop online courses and a clinical practicum that offers hands-on learning experiences to Chamberlain students.
This new nephrology curriculum will equip students with the tools, information, and practical experience necessary to excel in the nephrology clinical landscape. It will not only enhance their understanding of this specialty but also enable them to enter the field of nephrology nursing with confidence.
The partnership between ATGE and DaVita represents a significant step in bridging the gap between nursing education and real-world healthcare needs. It not only enriches the educational experience of nursing students at Chamberlain University but also helps address the growing demand for skilled professionals in the field of nephrology.
