With this change in structure, DNP and PhD professionals were able to collaboratively conduct a research study, drawing on their respective areas of expertise.
Findings:
The collaboration between the DNP and PhD professionals enhanced the knowledge and understanding of the research and evidence-based practice processes in the professional governance council.
