Please join us for the online Queen’s School of Nursing Academic Series entitled 'You can’t look at addiction in a vacuum”: Exploring nurse practitioners’ experience of capability development treating opioid use disorder in primary care' presented by Martha Whitfield, MS, MEd, APRN, PhD student. This event is free, and open to all.

Martha Whitfield is a 5th year PhD student in Nursing at Queen’s University School of Nursing where her supervisor is Dr. Rosemary Wilson. Her current research interests focus on the nurse practitioner (NP) role, and on NP treatment of addiction in primary care settings. In her PhD work, Martha is investigating how NPs experience capability development when providing medication treatment for opioid use disorder. In addition to her doctoral studies, Martha is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Vermont, where she teaches in the graduate nursing program, and a family nurse practitioner providing primary care services in a rural clinic in Vermont. Other research interests include the intersection of arts and health, and integrating her experience in the arts with her work as a nurse researcher.
