Susan Chapman, RN, PhD
Associate Professor, Director of Health Policy Nursing Specialty
Senior Research Faculty at Center for the Health Professions
For the past 12 years, my program of research has focused on health workforce policy including nursing, allied health, behavioral health, and entry-level occupations. Using mixed methods approaches, I study supply and demand for health care labor, health care education and career development, workforce diversity, and regulation. My recent work is focused on new and shifting roles for health care workers in new models of care.
