The student works with a faculty member or other scientist who is conducting a research project. The specific nature of the experience depends on the nature and stage of the research, but might include search and review of relevant literature, data collection, data analysis and/or grant preparation.
The residency focuses on the delivery of fully accountable scope, health care across the continuum of sites and patient needs. This residency requires students to apply the knowledge of: 1) diagnosis and management of ambulatory patients with complex diagnoses and comorbid conditions in the context of family, community and culture, 2) diagnosis and management of patients requiring interventions available only in an acute care setting and 3) diagnosis and management of patients who are unable to function independently due to age alterations and/or deficits in mental or physical status, developmental, perceptual and physical disability and chronic, degenerative illness. Sites include hospital based clinics, ambulatory centers, private offices, emergency rooms, walk-in clinics and acute/critical care units, labor and delivery suites in the hospital facilities and settings which provide hospice care, supportive care, home care, nursing home care, rehabilitative care, technologically dependent care and assisted living services. The DNP student will demonstrate an integration of comprehensive assessment, advanced differential diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and evaluation of care for patients and synthesis of evidence-based practice with patients with a variety of conditions. In this context, the DNP student will organize and develop a professional portfolio.
The DNP student will complete the scholarly project requirement while enrolled in this course. The student will develop a poster, presentation, manuscript or other product that will need to be peer reviewed and accepted. Documentation of the product being accepted through peer review is required and should be uploaded into the student portfolio along with the final product. Dissemination of the scholarly project is required, for example, through presentation or publication. The DNP student will work alone or in a group of up to three people. This will be the final requirement for their professional portfolio.

Independent nutrition research arranged in conjunction with one of the faculty. This forms the basis for the M.S. thesis.
The DNP portfolio is designed to assist students in meeting CUSON DNP competencies as demonstrated in written case narrative and competency based clinical encounters. Students will be assigned a faculty member who will provide guidance in identifying appropriate patient encounters, reviewing and editing all written work associated with demonstrating competency-based learning. This course repeats sequentially for 3 semesters.

The second course is “Population Oral Health Management.”
The learning objectives are:
Participants by the end of the course will be able to:
· demonstrate an understanding of healthcare financing and delivery changes underway in the US as context for changes that are expected to impact dental practice and the care of all patients, particularly those with special needs.
· consider how population-level health surveillance, measurement, and reporting informs population oral health management including the development and use of oral health metrics.
· appreciate the importance of social, behavioral, environmental, and healthcare determinants of health attainment and maintenance and how non-clinical dental approaches are informing care.
· understand concepts of quality improvement as applied to oral health care assessment and advancement.
· identify options and opportunities to address oral healthcare policy making to advance the oral health of populations, including those with special needs.
