I have been a health professions educator for 36 years and a primary care NP for 39 years. I have led graduate nursing curricula reformations that have been supported by several federal training, innovations, and private foundation grants. My contributions have resulted in substantial curricular changes that link classroom education to learning in health care and policy settings.

As part of my dedication to advanced nursing education and practice, I have been a vanguard of innovative practice models with a focus on vulnerable populations, for example, tele-health consultation services, nurse-managed health centers, and inter-professional, patient centered medical homes. I have also advocated for educational and practice improvements through my consultation and leadership roles; recent Academy of Medical Educators’ and other professional organization involvement; publications; and national and international presentations.
