Aims and Assumptions
Yale University's strength among doctoral programs in nursing is our focus on clinical research and health systems and policy research. The experience gleaned from that focus has produced a solid foundation for scholarship. At the Yale School of Nursing our scholarship has emphasized the interchange between practice and knowledge, based on the belief that theory develops from practice and, in turn, influences it. From the early 1960s when the Yale School of Nursing faculty reaffirmed their commitment to clinical practice and clinical research, we have made significant progress in support of these priorities. Yale's commitment to the preparation of the next generation of scholars, educators, and clinical scientists is reflected in its commitment to strong research preparation within the Ph.D. program.
The Ph.D. program is administered by the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
