Examples might include a patient with Duchesne's muscular dystrophy. Huntington's disease, Down's syndrome, sickle cell anemia, BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 mutations, or other genetic disorder that you and/or the organization you practice in may specialize in treating.

Portfolio Practice Hours:

Practice immersion assignments are based on your current course objectives, and are intended to be application-based learning using your real-world practice setting.

These assignments earn practice immersion hours, and are indicated in the assignment by a Portfolio Practice Hours statement which reminds you, the student, to enter in a corresponding case log in Typhon. Actual clock hours are entered, but the average hours associated with each practice immersion assignment is 10.

You are required to complete your assignment using real-world application.

Real-world application requires the use of evidence-based data, contemporary theories, and concepts presented in the course.

The culmination of your assignment must present a viable application in a current practice setting.

For more information on parameters for practice immersion hours, please refer to DNP resources in the DC Network.
