The Advisory Board
clinical nurse specialist in forensics
Forensics requires practitioners who are able to build connections
across organizations and professional identities. To help you build
these skills, we have convened a diverse group of forensics
stakeholders into a multidisciplinary advisory board, made up of
leaders in forensic science and related fields. These advisors have
contributed to the design of both classroom and clinical experiences,
and offer you the opportunity to join a strong professional community
from the beginning of your program.
