About the Department:

For over 40 years, the School of Nursing has prepared students for interdisciplinary roles as clinicians, educators, researchers, and administrators.

Within the school’s Mason and Partners Clinics (https://publichealth.gmu.edu/mapclinics), they gain experience working with culturally diverse patient populations in the northern Virginia area which provides them with the necessary skills to deliver health care where it is needed the most. Nursing faculty, staff, and students engage in work, study, and research that have major impacts on health equity, vulnerable populations, preventative care, population health, and the local workforce. Serving as experts in workforce development, School of Nursing faculty are committed to challenging the national nursing shortage and producing talented, equity-minded practitioners and scholars.

The School of Nursing’s position within the College of Public Health epitomizes the innovative, collaborative nature of the University’s culture. The School of Nursing plays a leadership role across the University in digital innovation for education, professional practice, and the delivery of health services.

The School of Nursing prepares students to address multicultural and socioeconomic diversity to ensure all populations receive effective interventions.
