Abstract

Although there is no doubt that expanding scientific innovations provide timely information, in the case of refugees and their primary care providers, it is possible their voices have been partially obscured by this rapidly expanding technological and global society. The authors are currently involved in addressing health disparities by providing education and training for doctoral nursing students, in the delivery of home based primary care to culturally diverse and marginalized populations in a mountain west state. Doctor of nursing practice (DNP) student perspectives may provide essential information to improve patient-centered care for this very vulnerable population. The purpose of this article is to relay the perceptions of DNP nursing students providing care to refugees. © Springer Publishing Company.
