title: Education of advanced practice nurses. Serving vulnerable populations.
abstract: Vulnerable populations are camouflaged, stigmatized, and often lacking in health care services. They may also be distrustful of assistance from traditional health care providers. To better serve vulnerable populations, professionals guiding intervention programs need specialized knowledge and skills as well as problem-solving abilities.
