Office of Strategic Partnerships & Practice

The Office of Strategic Partnerships and Practice (OSPP) at the Orvis School of Nursing is dedicated to building strong, sustainable collaborations that improve health and strengthen communities. Our work centers on creating partnerships that advance OSN’s tripartite mission in education, research, and practice—with a focus on service and community engagement.

Through the OSN Faculty Practice Plan, our faculty experts and nursing students work alongside partners to deliver high-quality care and implement system-level solutions that address community health needs. These collaborations not only enhance access to care but also prepare the next generation of nurses through real-world learning experiences.
