DNP Student Peppers Selected as Duke-Johnson & Johnson Nurse Leadership Fellow

DNP student Katherine Peppers was recently selected as a fellow for the Duke-Johnson & Johnson Nurse Leadership Program. Peppers will start the program in May and will participate in three leadership retreats throughout the year as well as distance-based learning activities and a transformative health leadership project.

The program will provide each fellow with the leadership and management skills required to effectively address the needs of their communities - especially that of underserved populations - and to become change agents within their practice settings and the evolving health care environment.

The Duke-Johnson & Johnson Nurse Leadership Program is a one-year program that is a partnership between Duke University School of Medicine, Duke University School of Nursing and Johnson & Johnson. The purpose of the program is to provide leadership development for advanced practice nurses.
