Several questions are important for all educators to consider in assessing the adequacy of their curriculum in addressing ambulatory care competencies. These include: "Is the curriculum designed to foster mastery of core knowledge and competencies in ambulatory settings, whether taught in stand-alone courses or integrated throughout the curriculum?"; "Do faculty have sufficient educational and experiential preparation in ambulatory care nursing and/or population health?"; "Are the teaching/learning methods and technologies appropriate for student learning, and are the core concepts and learning experiences arranged in a sequential, leveling manner?"; "Is the content appropriate for the RN generalist level rather than for advanced practice?"; "Are there opportunities for education-service collaboration and mentoring?"; and "Are there opportunities for interprofessional learning and practice?" Providing an overview of the practice and gearing the content to advanced practice nurses would not adequately meet the core competencies.
