Abstract

To engage in innovative and novel precision health and omics research, nurse scientists need to be knowledgeable about the genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors that impact health outcomes. This article illustrates the benefits of a nursing omics PhD curriculum at a state university. The purpose is to provide students' perspectives and research interests that were inspired by the omics and precision health curriculum. Exposing these early-career PhD nursing student scientists to omics and precision health engaged them to think broadly about the potential to generate original nurse-led research.
