Special Populations & Lifespan Approach: Care for infants, children, adolescents, adults; considerations for vulnerable groups (e.g. mentally ill, homeless, substance abuse) and families.
Community & Family-Focused Work: Tools and practices for community assessment, family assessment, home visits, planning and delivering care to households and community aggregates rather than just individuals.
Health Promotion & Disease Prevention: A strong orientation toward prevention (primary, secondary) — educating communities, promoting wellness, preventing disease rather than just treating it.
