Creating Synergy: Practical Strategies for DNP and PhD Student Collaboration
Webinar Details
Despite sharing a commitment to advancing nursing and improving patient care, DNP and PhD programs often operate in silos, which limits collaboration at a time when such partnerships are more critical than ever. In this presentation, we offer a student-led perspective on bridging that gap and real case examples that can be replicated in other programs.
Webinar Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify two actionable strategies students or faculty can use to initiate effective collaboration between DNP and PhD peers.
- Describe how student partnerships can foster connection and enhance inter-pathway innovation within nursing education.
Note: Recording of the webinar will be available soon after the webinar airs. Visit AACN's On-Demand Webinars to watch.
