The School of Nursing’s Synthesis Project is a course requirement that brings student research out of the theoretical and into the real world. Within an imposed time frame, students design, develop, and sometimes implement (in partnership with health care programs and partners), projects that address challenges of nursing practice and lived experience of patients and families. Each year the students are given an opportunity to display and discuss their projects with one another and with guests. This year’s Synthesis Forum took place in the School of Nursing classrooms on February 8th. Here you will find a few samples of the 43 projects that were undertaken in 2017/2018.
