The role of nursing professionals in the area of health policy continues to grow, as they offer an informed perspective based on their direct delivery of health care to diverse populations. They are confronted daily with health disparities that impact Hispanic, Native American and other underrepresented populations as they seek care from a health care system that is increasingly complex and costly for all Americans.
Making health systems work better for patients requires more than clinical skill, yet few nurses have the education or background to teach, research or implement health policy initiatives. Recognizing the need to increase the number of nurses who are educated specifically to develop and influence health policy, the University of New Mexico College of Nursing has established the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Doctor of Philosophy with a concentration in Health Policy.
