The TWU Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Program is designed to prepare Nurse Practitioners and Certified Nurse Midwives to function as expert clinicians who integrate and evaluate evidenced-based practices in acute and primary care settings.
The DNP curriculum broadens and expands on the skills of the master's prepared Advanced Practice Nurse to include enhanced clinical expertise, implementation of healthcare informatics technologies, and increased depth in the application of scientific advances and health care organizational concepts to nursing practice.
The Clinical Inquiry Capstone Project focuses on practice and consists of the exploration, selection, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based interventions in a clinical site for a specific population. The Clinical Inquiry Project integrates Practice, Patient, and Place through the strategies of Measurement and Evaluation.
