About
Two DNPs on the same couch take apart the letters after their names — what a PhD is for, what a practice doctorate is for, and what a degree is not.
What you will be able to do
- Explain the distinct purposes of the PhD, DNP and EdD, the difference between a degree, a licence and a board certification (including why a doctorate does not by itself change scope of practice), and what the primary source for the 17-year translation-lag figure actually concludes.
- Describe a specific application of the episode's say-yes-then-negotiate approach to a career decision in your own practice setting, naming the credential or role your goal requires, one hard stop, and the protected practice time or appointment split you would ask for.
