Speaker Bio<\/strong>: Dr. Haesook Kim has worked to improve the quality of care for older adults and to advance nursing education. As person-centered and evidence-based care are core values in her nursing practice and education, she has consistently sought to incorporate them into her teaching. As a clinician, she has worked in orthopedics, telemetry, geriatrics, pain management clinics, FQHC\/non-profit clinics. She has participated in various research projects, including behavioral symptoms of dementia, elder mistreatment, and culturally competent care for ethnic minority older adults. The findings from those studies have been published in journals and presented at conferences. The list of publications is here. \nRecently, her research has expanded to focus more on nursing education, particularly on integrating Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) into the Nurse Practitioner curriculum. She earned a Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles, an MSN\/GNP from the University of Michigan, and a BSN from Hanyang University in Korea. For the SIGMA (International Nursing Honor Society), she served as a faculty counselor (2018-2019), Treasurer of the Nu Xi at Large chapter, 2019-2026, and Region One, 2021-2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
