Scholarly Project I

Students will conduct an evidence-based practice project to improve practice and patient outcomes. The project will serve as a basis for future projects. Projects are individualized according to the student's areas of interest, specialty, or expertise and should demonstrate assimilation of knowledge at a doctoral level. Project foci may include clinical issues, educational topics, health policy initiatives, informatics, and public health. For BSN-DNP students, two semesters of coursework allow the student the span of time to develop and carry out this project. The project culminates in an oral defense and a publishable paper.
