SNHP Research and Scholarship Projects (2019-2020)
In the School of Nursing and Human Physiology, we are extremely fortunate to have faculty and staff who work tirelessly to generate new knowledge, establish strong interdisciplinary and interpersonal connections, and build effective research relationships, both in and out of the classroom. The research conducted by our faculty and staff allows them to bring innovative knowledge and skills in the classroom and clinical lab, ensuring that SNHP delivers a high quality, evidence-based education to its students across programs. Below we highlight faculty and staff research and scholarship projects completed between 2019 and 2020, and ongoing research.
