A new model for educating nurses
Yale School of Nursing is advancing a renewed approach to nursing education that emphasizes health promotion, prevention, wellness, and the broader social and political factors that shape health outcomes. New and expanded areas of study, including Precision Wellness and Political Determinants of Health, reflect the school’s focus on preparing nurses to lead across clinical, community, and policy settings. Alongside growing enrollment, YSN has expanded partnerships with clinical and community organizations, strengthened student support services, and increased investments in research, mentorship, and academic-clinical collaboration to help prepare nurses for the evolving future of healthcare.
For Yale nursing student, graduation marks a “full circle moment”
Twenty years after appearing on the cover of a Yale School of Nursing magazine alongside her mother, graduating student Jamison Dorsey recently crossed the commencement stage at YSN herself. Inspired by her mother, Coretta Jenerette, who completed a postdoctoral fellowship at YSN in 2006, Dorsey pursued nursing and developed a passion for maternal health advocacy and midwifery care. At YSN, she became deeply involved in student leadership and plans to continue serving underserved communities while addressing Black maternal health disparities as a future nurse-midwife.
