AB  - BACKGROUND: A critical component of doctor of nursing practice (DNP) education is 
      practice immersion. DNP programs require 1000 hours of clinical practice 
      experience to obtain the DNP degree. PROBLEM: Faculty struggle with providing 
      meaningful clinical experiences congruent with the role of the DNP. APPROACH: 
      This article describes a unique practice immersion course joining DNP students 
      with community health care partners to provide meaningful experiences with the 
      potential to transform health care. DNP students are assigned system-level 
      projects designed to create organizational change. OUTCOMES: Over the course of 4 
      years, the practice immersion opportunities more than doubled from 30 to 66 live 
      projects. Integrating collaborative practice immersion into the curriculum builds 
      students' leadership skills and strengthens long-standing bonds among academia, 
      practice, and the community. CONCLUSIONS: The creation of structured, meaningful 
      collaborations between DNP students and community partners is an approach that 
      has the potential to facilitate transformative, sustainable change in health 
      care.
