DNP: Advanced Nursing Practice Clinical Leadership
The Advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) focus prepares ANPs to function more effectively as a clinical leader. Given the expansion of scientific knowledge required for safe nursing practice and the growing focus on the quality of patient
care delivery and outcomes, this track provides students with the specialized knowledge and skills needed by today’s practitioner. Students will use their existing understanding of the practice context to document practice trends, identify potential
systemic changes and make improvements in the care of particular patient populations in the systems within which they practice.
DNP: Executive Leadership
The Executive Leadership focus prepares students for advanced specialty practice at the population, organizational, and/or system level. Given the increasingly complex health care environment, this track provides students with the specialized
knowledge and skills needed by today’s nursing leaders. Studentswill use their existing understanding of the practice leadership context to identify aggregate health or system needs, work with diverse stakeholders for inter- or intra-organizational
achievement of health-related goals and design patient-centered care delivery systems.
