"DNS students profit from the unique nature of the CUNY consortium which allows for collaborative teaching among and between CUNY colleges; I co-teach the philosophy of science with a philosopher from the Graduate Center. Moreover, the program's New York City location attracts national and international nursing scholars as guest lecturers in our classes. And the City's diversity provides the perfect atmosphere for my own research on interventions that reduce risk behaviors in Latino youth."

The Clinical Doctoral Program in Nursing Science, which awards the DNS, is designed to provide students within New York City, New York State, and the nation with education in nursing, related theories, and empirical research methodology, thus preparing them as nurse leaders in the delivery of quality-based health care. The program will expand the knowledge base of nursing practice, health care management, health care policy, and economics through the research and scholarship of its faculty members and students. Graduates will be prepared to conduct research, be involved in nursing policy, teach, and assume leadership positions in health care settings.

Areas of Concentration

Health policy for the promotion of health and elimination of health disparities; evaluation of theoretical concepts related to nursing and health care; research to promote quality nursing and health care; development and implementation of multidisciplinary programs that promote the health of people from diverse cultures.
