New Doctor of Nursing Practice Program
Starting with her Initiative from the inaugural PTF cohort, PTF Emeritus Carol Delville worked with School of Nursing colleagues to transition the Advanced Practice program in Adult Gerontology into a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree program. Delville describes the transition as making her "legacy dream come true," and says about her time in the PTF program, "I think [it was] one of the greatest opportunities UT has offered me."
For more information about the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs offered at UT Austin, visit the program's webpage, or learn more about Dr. Delville's program and specialty.

Transforming Health Professional Education through Collaborative Inter-professional Learning
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.
