Duke's Nursing Informatics program began with a Post-Master's Certificate program in 1997, and expanded to include an MSN program that began in 2002. A Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree will begin in 2008 with a heavy informatics emphasis. The DNP degree is a more clinically focused doctorate, while the more traditional PhD emphasizes research.

We actively recruit a diverse group of students for every new class. Each class typically includes men and minorities that enrich our learning experiences. Our niche provides advanced preparation for nurses already working in informatics positions, although we have also had success in preparing highly motivated and tech-savvy expert nurses who are new to informatics. Details about the Duke program are provided with the links on this page.
