Temple University's graduate nursing education embodies the core principles of Nursing while aligning with the institution's overarching vision. The D.N.P. curriculum equips students to deliver evidence-based primary healthcare to patients, families, and populations, emphasizing the interplay between healthcare systems, policy, economics, and patient outcomes. This program develops professionals capable of direct patient care across various environments, healthcare system management, and health policy advocacy, all while preserving its clinical primary care emphasis. By blending teaching, clinical, and research components, faculty guide D.N.P. candidates in appreciating the transformative power of evidence-based approaches for patients and communities.
Temple's College of Public Health offers the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) as the terminal practice degree in nursing, producing healthcare pioneers who champion equitable care and improved wellbeing across all societal levels. The program provides two entry pathways: one for BSN holders featuring foundational studies in pharmacotherapeutics and health assessment, and another for master's-prepared nurses focusing on leadership development in evidence-based collaborative practice.
The Family-Individual Across the Lifespan specialization trains providers to deliver comprehensive primary care with expertise in pediatric and adult health maintenance, chronic disease management, and acute condition treatment. (These practitioners are commonly referred to as family nurse practitioners.) The track includes concentrated pediatric healthcare training.
