“I truly can say UMKC and its faculty remain an outstanding facility for health care academics.”

“UMKC and the faculty leaders have impressed upon me that achieving overall excellence is paramount, [and that] developing mutual relationships with healthcare leaders allows for growth as a person and leads to a meaningful experience.

It was clearly evident the faculty really cared for the students and wanted me and my classmates to succeed in the DNP Program. I found the curriculum challenging, but rewarding. I came back each summer as part of the summer intersession to reconnect with the faculty and provide updates on my scholarly project.

As our healthcare landscape changes, I truly can say UMKC and its faculty remain an outstanding facility for health care academics.“

– Daniel Blaz, DNP
