The role of nurse practitioner specializing in Advanced Women's Health Nursing is offered at the University of South Alabama College of Nursing. The MSN program prepares graduates for advanced nursing practice and for doctoral study. Graduates of the program are able to synthesize and apply advanced knowledge, theories, and research to a specialized area of nursing practice and function as leaders in practice to contribute to the advancement of the nursing profession.

A common core of courses are offered online including concepts, theory, research, and issues related to advanced nursing practice.

The Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner Track classes are available only online. However, there is a mandatory three (3) day orientation held during the fall semester of the first practicum course. Attendance is required and will allow for questions and interaction with course faculty along with discussion of necessary forms and requirements for practicum experiences. Further, various clinical workshops will be provided for which students will be given credit for clinical hours.

For more information, contact Gail Soles, Graduate Advisor by email at congrad@usouthal.edu or by phone at 251-445-9410 or Leigh Minchew, WHNP Track Coordinator at 251-434-3860.
