During the clinical hours required in this practicum course, you may pursue activities within this course that support your DNP project, such as meeting with the team and stakeholders to improve problem identification and/or conducting discussions with the team about literature search and critique.
Remember, the DNP project site and the project mentor may or may not be the same site or preceptor where the student completes this practicum course, so all DNP students should remember to communicate with the DNP Faculty mentor about any activities that may contribute to the DNP project.
