RNPA in the News
"Nursing programs don’t always include patient advocacy in their curriculums, but post-graduate training programs, such as the RN Patient Advocates Learning Intensive can fill in any knowledge gaps. The additional training, usually offered fully or partially online, takes a few extra months to complete and equips students with the tools needed for their new career.
Training courses cover patient advocacy delivery models, integration of treatments and care plans, negotiating skills, and healthcare systems navigation."
