Emory University’s School of Nursing PhD program is a full-time, intense learning experience designed to develop the next generation of researchers, a generation that will change the face of health care. Our program is built on the research strengths of our faculty in areas of the management of chronic illnesses, including Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias, cancer, renal and heart disease, mental health, palliative care and caregiver support. Our researchers work in the areas of strengthening health care systems, conducting computational and data science, and improving women’s health and the health of marginalized populations in the United States and globally. The program is interdisciplinary, drawing on the strengths of Emory University and its partners in areas as varied as the humanities, natural and social sciences, public health, engineering, law, and business. Learn more about us at various events during the year.
