Abstract
Background: Given the rapid proliferation of doctor of nursing practice (DNP) programs and documented concerns regarding their scholarly outcome, DNP faculty development is urgently needed.
Problem: Many faculty teaching in DNP programs lack the training in doctoral scholarship oversight needed to ensure DNP student scholarship rigor.
Approach: A large multicampus college of nursing invested in an interdisciplinary DNP faculty development retreat to increase participants' scholarship and strengthen their ability to mentor DNP student projects.
Outcomes: Positive initial outcomes of the retreat included participants' self-reported increased confidence in implementing evidence-based practice quality improvement methods and an increase in DNP student and faculty publication submissions.
Conclusions: These findings are transferable to other academic institutions that aim to increase their DNP faculty and student scholarly outcomes.
