Clinical Scholarship: a hallmark of DNP practice
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program is a three year full-time program that prepares students for careers as family nurse practitioners (FNPs) or psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs). Clinical scholarship is a hallmark of DNP practice, and DNP students in nationally accredited programs (as is Wyoming's DNP program) are required to complete a DNP project prior to graduation. These projects provide an invaluable opportunity for students to integrate the science, theory, and practice skills they've learned throughout their education, as well as the opportunity to professionally disseminate their findings.
How the UWYO DNP program approaches the DNP project
The DNP program has been developing relationships with clinical agencies who are interested in partnering with the DNP program regarding DNP education and practice improvement. Thus, DNP projects occur in collaboration with providers and administrators from partnering clinical agencies and address specific agency needs.
