Advancing DNP student project experiences and organizational strategy
The academic-practice partnership between UW Health and the UW–Madison School of Nursing has elevated nursing education and health care outcomes.
The strategic partnership has enhanced quality and sustainability of Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) projects, strengthened students’ competence and readiness, and advanced organizational initiatives through student-led projects.
Below is a poster presented at the 2025 ANCC Magnet and Pathway Conference that focused on elevating DNP student project experiences and creating an infrastructure to consistently advance high-quality system-level strategy, outcomes and priorities within the health care system.
