Explores complex political, institutional, social and economic forces impacting the higher education environment. Examines leadership challenges for nursing in higher education. Students analyze the research and scholarship of teaching exploring ways of integrating research to create innovation and change. Emphasis is on an integrated synthesis of the research on a selected issue in nursing education or area in the scholarship of teaching.
Explore the implications of genomics/genetics, ethics and technological advances on advanced nursing practice. Examine foundational principles of genetics and the impact of genetics/genomics on individual, family and population health. Apply knowledge of ethical theories and principles related to clinical practice and shared decision-making to support patient-centered care. Analyze ethical, regulatory, and legal factors when selecting and evaluating patient care technology.

Six-semester sequence orients and socializes the PhD in nursing student to the role of the nurse scholar educator through 1) seminars and forums on scholarship in chronic illness management and nursing education and on research methods; and 2) a formal mentor relationship with a designated research faculty member. This course sequence also addresses the identification of funding sources and the development of grantsmanship skills. The development of this course is guided by the AACN The Research-Focused Doctoral Program in Nursing: Pathways to Excellence (2022) document. This course includes synchronous distance learning through computer-assisted technology.
