Abstract
Challenges encountered in both advanced practice registered nursing (APRN) education and veteran health care include an aging workforce, limited resources, and faculty/staff shortages, which ultimately affect patient outcomes. Academic–service partnerships (ASP) address these challenges by increasing workforce capacity and engagement, promoting interprofessional collaboration and evidence-based practice, creating educational opportunities for nursing students to work with underserved populations, and offering a mechanism for recruitment and retention. This article outlines the systematic approach a large doctor of nursing practice (DNP) program in the southwestern United States used to develop and deploy an ASP program with 2 sizeable veteran-serving community partners.
