Description:

Intimate partner violence (IPV) remains one of the most pressing and complex public health crises affecting individuals, families, and communities. As master’s-prepared nurses, you are already providing compassionate, evidence-based care at the bedside and in community settings. But what if you could expand your influence beyond individual patient encounters and lead meaningful, systems-level change?
This forward-thinking session explores how earning your Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree through Frontier Nursing University serves as a powerful pathway to developing advanced leadership skills that directly address critical public health challenges like IPV. The DNP prepares advanced practice nurses to move from recognizing problems to designing and leading solutions—equipping them with expertise in quality improvement, implementation science, trauma-informed leadership, population health strategy, and health policy advocacy.
Using a focused IPV framework, this presentation demonstrates how DNP-prepared nurses identify gaps in care, mobilize interprofessional teams, influence organizational culture, and implement sustainable, evidence-based interventions that improve outcomes for vulnerable populations. Participants will see how doctoral preparation strengthens competencies in strategic thinking, data-driven decision-making, systems leadership, and policy engagement—skills essential for addressing complex public health issues at scale.
This session is designed to help you view the DNP not simply as another credential, but as a transformative leadership pathway—one that advances your impact, amplifies your professional voice, and positions you to lead change in the communities and populations you serve.
