In this article we extend the idea of humanizing an online course to humanizing within a cohort-based online doctoral program. We provide examples of humanizing through student agency, faculty presence and peer presence across the main stages of doctoral work in the United States: transition and adjustment, coursework and the process of attaining…

In nursing education, peer mentorship programs aim to develop students' clinical skills, encourage socialization within the program, and improve academic outcomes.
