The School of Nursing

Part of one of the world's most distinguished research universities, the Yale School of Nursing (YSN) has always been proud of its role in advancing human knowledge. The School was founded with a mission embracing service and scholarship. Its diverse community of scholars and clinicians work toward one common goal: better health care for all people. It is a vibrant, exhilarating and rigorous place to study nursing at the graduate level.

In training nursing leaders, YSN relies heavily on its deep tradition of excellence in research. A significant distinction between the Yale School of Nursing and other schools of nursing is the integration of theory and practice, with the appreciation of practice as the theory-generating base in the discipline. At Yale, scholarship is energized by the interchange between practice and knowledge, based on the belief that theory develops from practice and then, in turn, influences it.

Faculty research at YSN is changing the way nursing is practiced. Extensive research efforts exist in such areas as chronic illness, especially cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS and cardiovascular disease; vulnerable populations; women's health; and family nursing. Researchers view the process of systematic inquiry as collaborative and multidisciplinary, with research teams often including experts across specializations.

YSN's role in the development of nursing science is not only recognized, but is commended in any history of the discipline. Since its founding, the School routinely revises its curriculum to anticipate and meet the needs of the nursing profession and those of the community.

Doctor of Philosophy Program

Yale University's strength among doctoral programs in nursing is our focus on clinical research and health systems and policy research. The experience gleaned from that focus has produced a solid foundation for scholarship. At the Yale School of Nursing our scholarship has emphasized the interchange between practice and knowledge, based on the belief that theory develops from practice and, in turn, influences it. From the early 1960s when the Yale School of Nursing faculty reaffirmed their commitment to clinical practice and clinical research, we have made significant progress in support of these priorities. Yale's commitment to the preparation of the next generation of scholars, educators, and clinical scientists is reflected in its commitment to strong research preparation within the Ph.D. program.
