Do you have a U.S.-based project that could benefit from collaborating with Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students? Elevate your organization and take it to the next level. Bring on learners from the University of North Dakota to serve as your learner-consultants in a project-based experience. Throughout the project, learners will connect with you as needed using virtual communication tools.
In your project, students will function as members of your health-care-focused interdisciplinary teams to design, implement, and evaluate a DNP project. In addition, under faculty and mentor guidance, they will analyze, report, and present the results of the project to you.
