Her work, related to education, mentoring, research, and communications, has included evaluation of nurse practitioner roles and intervention and the management of nursing services; a proposal to improve access to high quality health care for Canadians with common chronic diseases through the integration of advance practice nurses in specialized roles; and the provision of bursaries to graduate students.
The CHSRF/CIHR Chair Awards fund mid-career leaders in applied health services and nursing research to train graduate students, act as mentors for new researchers, build national networks and conduct research.
