About the Department:
For over 40 years, the School of Nursing has prepared students for interdisciplinary roles as clinicians, educators, researchers, and administrators. Students learn to address the challenges of a rapidly changing and diverse healthcare environment with hands-on experience in simulation, skill-building labs, and clinical settings. 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. Students learn to address the challenges of a fast-paced, rapidly changing, and diverse healthcare environment with hands-on experience in the state-of-the-art Virtual Reality/Simulation labs and 9 different community-based Mason and Partners (MAP) clinics. The School of Nursing prepares students to address multicultural and socioeconomic diversity to ensure all populations receive effective interventions.
The MAP Clinics are an integral part of the School of Nursing's work in community health and prevention. These nurse-managed clinics unite community and academic resources to provide an access point for underserved, high-risk populations to enter a complex healthcare system. The School of Nursing's work in the MAP clinics allows faculty and students to address the priority health care needs of fellow community members in Fairfax and Prince William counties using interprofessional treatment team approaches focused on personalized care and empowered access to health information and care.
