The Post-Master's D.N.P. Program, which offers both a clinical and a leadership focus, is for applicants who have already achieved a graduate-level advanced practice foundation.
The
Post-Master's D.N.P. curriculum builds on master's level courses such as
advanced pathophysiology, advanced health assessment, pharmacology, and a
clinical area of concentration. The program has three components:
- Coursework to provide a broad understanding of the knowledge and skills needed for the role of a D.N.P.;
- The Capstone Project which allows students to apply their
coursework, knowledge, skills, and past experience to an in-depth and
integrative practice experience which results in a written product;
- An
intensive clinical residency experience of 500 hours in which students
work hands-on with a preceptor in the student's area of advanced
practice.
Both focuses are offered in a blended
format: a combination of online and face-to-face learning experiences.
During the practicum hours, students work with preceptors and
experts in their area of focus to gain meaningful clinical and leadership experiences
and to develop and implement their capstone
project.
