Dr. Strohm has spent her nursing career in various roles providing care to neonates, infants, and children and their families in the neonatal ICU, pediatric ICU, pediatric emergency department, and during neonatal and pediatric inter-facility transport. She has had the opportunity to develop programs aimed at systems change for the most at risk children such as facilitating the development of a rapid response program and enhancing the capabilities of a critical care transport program. She aims to continue to improve pediatric care by providing education to those caring for the most at-risk infants and children and participating in innovation and program development to enhance care delivery to these pediatric patients and families.
We prepare students to embrace the full potential of the pediatric acute care and neonatal nurse practitioner roles upon graduation, providing the foundation for them to not only become excellent clinicians but also engage in quality improvement, health policy and advocacy, education, leadership, and community activities.
