TEACHING:

RESEARCH:

My scholarship interests include enhanced care of older adults in community-based settings. Through my involvement with the Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program grant, I work on the development and implementation of gerontology-focused curriculum to translate into interprofessional practice. I also provide curricular development of care coordination and interprofessional educational strategies with a focus on quality improvement.  In my role as clinical coordinator for community health nursing clinical placements, I am working to enhance the role of the registered nurse in the primary care setting.
