Education

Patricia Rissmiller is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Graduate Nurse Practitioner Program

I currently teach across both the Masters and Doctoral Level, both on site and on line.
I coordinate and teach the research sequence as well as Promotion and Health Care Systems.
I have a particular interest in facilitating research dissemination for both Masters and Doctoral level students. As a course outcome several students have presented posters at national and local conferences as well as published in scholarly journals.

I serve on the Harvard School of Public Health Advisory Board for the Maternal Child Health Program. The Graduate program has a Dual Degree program in collaboration with HSPH.
I am a faculty consultant on the Maternal Child Health Funded grant for Leadership Training in Neurodevelopmental and Developmental Disorders at Children's Hospital, Boston.
I serve as the faculty counselor and board member for Sigma Theta Tau the honorary nursing organization.

My main objective is to facilitate student publication and dissemination. These projects are in collaborative projects with students.
