NATIONAL FORUM ON THE PRACTICE DOCTORATE IN NURSING AACN and the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties co-hosted a meeting on December 8, 2003 to engage a broad community of stakeholder organizations in a National Forum on the Practice Doctorate in Nursing. Through an open forum and small group discussions, participants addressed general questions on whether the practice doctorate benefits society and the nursing profession as well as the issues to consider from the perspectives of nursing education, practice, certification, regulation, and accreditation. External observers from higher education and the public health discipline provided feedback on the discussion and insights into the professional degree. Participants strongly recommended ongoing dialogue as a community.
