AB  - BACKGROUND: Advanced health assessment is a required course in advanced practice 
      RN (APRN) education, essential to providing the foundation for differential 
      diagnosis (DD) skills and the ability to formulate a plan of care. PROBLEM: 
      Feedback from clinical preceptors revealed that our doctor of nursing practice 
      (DNP) students struggled to make a DD. APPROACH: This educational quality 
      improvement project collected data from 7 cohorts of DNP students in either the 
      Family Nurse Practitioner or Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner program to 
      evaluate their readiness for clinical practicums and to inform necessary 
      curriculum revisions. OUTCOMES: Data revealed that students' ability to identify 
      3 DDs correctly during the summative health assessment objective structured 
      clinical examination was inconsistent. Qualitative data revealed students lacked 
      understanding on how to use results from the physical assessment to formulate a 
      DD. CONCLUSION: The findings of this project corroborate those from the 
      literature that suggest we should teach APRN students DD skills explicitly.
