The UWindsor Faculty of Nursing looks forward to welcoming its first PhD students in the fall, says dean Linda Patrick.

The new degree program, focused on health outcomes and health services research, will combine coursework, comprehensive exams and a dissertation. It will prepare its graduates to assume leadership roles in academic and practice settings.

“Our PhD program will engage candidates in research and scholarly activities that will ready them for policy development as well as the design and delivery of patient care,” Dr. Patrick says.

The program will normally involve four years of full-time study and is currently accepting applicants to launch in Fall 2017. The deadline to apply is January 15.

Details about this program, including admission criteria and application instructions, are available on the Faculty of Nursing website.
