Emory University School of Nursing's Emergency Nurse Practitioner Program prepares nurses to provide health care in emergency settings. Program content is built on Family Nurse Practitioner preparation and the care of patients across the lifespan. While the emphasis is on evaluating, managing, treating, and preventing unexpected illness and injury, the curriculum also prepares graduates to provide health care to patients to emergency settings for primary health care needs.



The clinical portion of the program covers those procedures commonly used in emergency settings, such as basic and advanced suturing, joint injection, slit lamp examinations, and splinting and casting. Students have over 700 clock-hours of supervised clinical experiences in areas including women's health, pediatrics, family practice, fast-track non-acute emergency settings, and high acuity emergency and trauma settings. 



The Emergency Nurse Practitioner program offers interdisciplinary learning experiences with medical students, physician assistants, and emergency residents; state-of-the-art clinical laboratory; clinical experiences in a Level I Trauma Center; classroom instruction in forensic issues in emergency settings, disaster preparedness, and responses to biological terrorism.
