Frequently asked questions
Both courses introduce students to the School of Nursing and Health Sciences and develop communication, collaboration, and case analysis skills, but NHS8002 operates at the doctoral level — the scholar-practitioner model (as opposed to the practitioner-scholar model at the master's level) places greater emphasis on scholarly inquiry, interprofessional collaboration across organizational boundaries, and the ethical leadership competencies required for doctoral-level healthcare practice. NHS8002 prepares students for the depth of critical analysis and decision-making complexity they'll encounter in doctoral coursework and their eventual capstone projects.
