Mentorship IIB: Doctorial Project (120 Clinical hours)

Catalog description

This course is designed to support and facilitate students in a culturally competent evidence-based practice leadership experience through which they demonstrate the scholarship of practice at the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) level. In this second part of the DNP project experience students will continue their work on creating or changing the context for excellence in clinical care delivery through a culturally competent evidence-based practice project. Students will maintain a leadership role as they continue to apply knowledge and skills to solve a clinical problem using a culturally competent evidence-based practice framework. Intra and interprofessional collaboration, consultation, and partnership development in the culturally competent evidence-based practice change will be fostered, with a focus on theoretical versus real world scenarios in crossing the quality chasm. Students will continue to have one-to-one mentoring with a faculty mentor and a clinical partner mentor as they implement the evidence-based practice change and evaluate the project. Course faculty will discuss with students progress in their learning experiences in scheduled seminars during the semester.
