However, current offerings are fragmented and physician centric. This review highlights the need for more robust, nursing-specific entrepreneurship education grounded in comprehensive competency frameworks and evaluated through rigorous, longitudinal approaches, providing a foundation for curriculum development, faculty capacity-building and future research.
