Within this track, nurses learn about a sampling of the 100+ specialties in nursing at Cleveland Clinic.
- Advanced Practice – You’ll explore the various responsibilities, requirements and paths you can take as an APRN in order to provide preventive or primary care services to patients.
- Beyond Bedside Care – Specialize in an area of nursing practice outside of direct patient care in areas that include Risk Management, Infection Prevention, Nursing Research, Nursing Education Leadership Track and more.

Each track provides developmental courses, experiential learning and supporting activities.
