Introduction

The nurse practitioner interviewed NP thought leaders Dr. Ann Dabra Woods and Dr. Karen Innesant to discuss the importance of the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree.

What I was taught in school to become an MP didn't really teach me a lot about population health or the social determinants of health, she said.
