A capstone experience designed to demonstrate synthesis, integration, and application of the student's accumulated knowledge and skills. Students select a global public health practice area for in-depth exploration and assessment of population needs, including needs of diverse learners. Focus is placed on the development of a guided scholarly capstone project in global public health practice based on theoretical knowledge, literature synthesis, proceeding through an implementation phase and concluding with an analytical outcomes evaluation. The project is supported by the integration of principles from multiple disciplines including education, business, and nursing and concludes with development of a final product. A seminar component provides a forum for reflection and discussion of critical issues.

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.
