Educational policy across health disciplines is decidedly favoring the conversion of existing clinical graduate programs to practice-oriented doctoral programs.

Learning Objectives: 1. Analyze the public health policy implications of a practice doctorate for public health nurses. 2. Describe the development of the curriculum for the Doctor of Nursing Practice. 3. Compare and contrast competencies for the public health workforce with competencies for the Doctor of Nursing Practice.
