 The [http://nursing.umich.edu/ University of Michigan School of Nursing] (UMSN) enrolls over 1,000 students, with approximately 280 MSN, 26 DNP, and 60 PhD students. Annually, there are about 15 new UMSN doctorate students (DNP & PhD) who are admitted into the program. In addition, the [http://www.uofmhealth.org/ University of Michigan Health System] (UMHS) includes dozens of schools, departments and institutes training hundreds of doctoral students in different quantitative, analytics, and health science disciplines. The UMSN Analytics Core has been charged by [http://nursing.umich.edu/faculty-staff/kathleen-potempa Dean Kathleen Potempa] to modernize the UMSN analytical methods curriculum and to:
-* Improve the research skills of doctorate students,

 The Charter of the Analytics Core is to provide doctoral health science students with rigorous analytics training and learning experience via a robust series of analytic courses offered by UMSN faculty. The Scientific Methods for Health Sciences EBook is designed specifically for the [http://www.socr.umich.edu/people/dinov/SMHS_Courses.html UMSN HS550-HS853 courses], which aim to reduce the variation of analytic skills, scientific knowledge and quantitative abilities of health sciences graduate students. The unified objective of these courses is to prepare exclusive cadres of nursing and healthcare scientists for leading scientific teams and for conceiving research proposals with strong methodological designs and analytic approaches to address innovative study aims.
