title: Ambulatory care nursing courses.
abstract: As healthcare delivery moves into ambulatory and community-based settings, nurses need preparation for professional-level practice in these new environments. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Nursing has designed and implemented its own ambulatory care nursing course to educate nurses for this growing practice setting. The author discusses the design and implementation of the courses.
