Reflective Journal Integration of clinical leadership and inquiry into previous
or current practice Utilize clinical cases from your experience or practice Integration of ethics, genetics, heath policy, collaboration
and information technology, health disparity and other areas of doctoral level practice
This is a tangible, deliverable academic product Example
Identify a potential genetic risk in a population of patients you have cared for and discuss a diagnosis of a genetic condition and an intervention you made for an individual in your practice. Discuss the implications for the families. What did you learn from the experience? Would you do anything different? Provide a critical analysis and discussion. (Upload this to MyFolio)
Scholarly Activities Academic and Scholarly activities
Conferences, seminars, journal club, grand rounds, morbidity and mortality, patient conferences, quality and safety, practice-based lectures, interdisciplinary committees, quality improvement committees, policy or advocacy events
Each student is expected to document a minimum of 10 activities during residency
On My-Folio: under Residency you will find this section
Residency Competencies
Domains and Competencies for DNP education and APRN practice must be met within the program. These are the skills, knowledge and attitudes required for
clinical practice (referred to as competencies) Some are met in course work Others are met by students with documentation provided by you
in MyFolio Each Domain and competency is outlined in MyFolio
Required to review competencies and complete any tasks Example
Competency 22: Counsels the patient on the use of complementary/alternative therapies (see task) In one paragraph describe how you counseled a patient on the use of
complementary therapies.
Residency Evaluation Evaluation of Clinical site Evaluation of Clinical Preceptors Evaluation of Residency Course Evaluation of Residency Course Coordinator
Practice Inquiry Project
Use of research knowledge and methods to create, implement and evaluate practice interventions, health delivery systems, and clinical teaching.
Commitment to translate research into practice in order to improve health care outcomes
Project in an area of clinical practice, expertise or interest A practice change initiative Program implementation and evaluation Practice model implementation and evaluation Health policy implementation Quality improvement project
MyFolio MyFolio is used instead of a written proposal Pieces of the Practice Inquiry Project are built in some of your
courses Example: NRDP 844 Research Use and Evidence Based Practice
Section 1: Introduction and Statement of Problem Section 3: State of the Science Paper
Example: NRPHD: Knowledge Dissemination and Translation Section 2: Philosophical or theoretical perspective
These pieces will assist you when you write your paper for publication in your last residency course
IRB approval must be uploaded (exempt/expedited) CITI training certificate must be uploaded
Guidelines Project is related to advanced practice in the
nursing specialty and benefits a group, population or community rather than an individual

PIP Framework Focus-PDSA approach
F: Find a process to improve What do you plan to change
Organize an effort to work on improvement Who will be involved and what support do you need
Clarify the current knowledge of the process What is the current state of the science related to the process or
practice Understand process variation and performance capabilities
Outline specifically how the current process works Select changes aimed at performance or process improvement
Choose the intervention or interventions What changes are you going to make
PIP Framework Plan the change. Analyze and predict the results
How do you plan to measure the effect of the change Do it
Execute the plan taking small steps in controlled circumstances
Study it Check or study the results
Act: Take action How do you sustain the gain If no working what is the next step (Continue PDSA)
