Oak Street Health, Inc. announced the launch of its new graduate nurse practitioner (NP) training program to provide the necessary skills, support and education required to become a highly confident and competent clinician for older adults. In collaboration with the University of Michigan School of Nursing (UMSN), a nationally recognized leader in NP education, the NP Fellowship in Adult Primary Care is a 12-month paid training program for the inaugural cohort of eight fellows across Oak Street Health centers in Illinois, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Texas. Fellows will spend time building their own patient panel, learning from a multitude of preceptors, and engaging in Oak Street Health-specific content that aims to build on graduate training.

The robust curriculum, which covers topics such as value-based care, chronic disease management, working and leading interprofessional teams and professional development, will enable them to become successful clinicians within the unique Oak Street Health care model.
