Goal <strong>of</strong> Doctor <strong>of</strong> Nursing Practice Program<br />
The goal <strong>of</strong> the Doctor <strong>of</strong> Nursing Practice program is to prepare nurses for senior clinical<br />
leadership and executive level positions in health systems. This program builds on advanced<br />
practice nursing at the master’s level and develops nursing leaders to improve health care<br />
outcomes at the individual client, population, and system levels. <strong>Student</strong>s work closely<br />
throughout the curriculum with an assigned faculty advisor and clinical mentor. These<br />
assignments attempt to match faculty expertise with student career goals and needed areas <strong>of</strong><br />
growth. <strong>Student</strong>s complete a pr<strong>of</strong>essional portfolio as part <strong>of</strong> the application process. The<br />
portfolio evaluation is the foundation upon which faculty/student assignments and clinical<br />
mentor assignments are made.<br />
