Doctor of Nursing Practice Program

With the much-anticipated addition of a medical school on The University of Texas at Austin campus, we have an ideal opportunity to reexamine health-professional education, and plan for a more collaborative interprofessional education approach to address the future health-care needs of Texas, the United States and world health. The goal of an interprofessional education approach is to prepare health professional students to deliberately work together with the common goal of building a safer and better patient-centered and community/population oriented health care system.
