Doktorat iz Medicinske Sestre

Our doctor of philosophy in nursing (Ph.D.) program prepares clinical scholars, educators, and researchers for leadership roles in various academic, industry, and healthcare settings. Because the knowledge and skills needed to produce excellent health-related research are not discipline-specific, the Ph.D. program does not require a prior degree in nursing. Indeed, we have had Ph.D. students with academic preparation in health administration, health education, medical ethics, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, public health, and social work.

Our Ph.D. program is highly individualized and flexible to accommodate our students' wide variety of learning needs. To that end, we have an online option for distance learners and an international residential option for international students. We welcome both nurses and non-nurses with a degree in a health-related field into our Ph.D. program and have plans of study to accommodate both post-baccalaureate or post-masters students.
