Sandra Domeracki

Sandra J. Domeracki, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, COHN-S, FAAOHN, is a clinical professor in the Community Health Systems Department in the School of Nursing at UCSF. She joined the Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner AGPCNP)/Occupational and Environmental Health (OEHN) program in 2018. Her teaching focus is on first-year NP education. She teaches both AGPCNP and OEHN courses in a variety of formats, from serving as the faculty of record for core OEHN courses to leading small-group seminar discussions. She is also a mentor and preceptor to NP students.

Dr. Domeracki recently completed the UCSF School of Nursing PhD program, studying carpet installers and their lived experiences, especially as they relate to work-related injuries, how the carpet installers manage them, and cope. She is currently working with Dr. OiSaeng Hong on postdoctoral training.

She currently practices at the San Francisco VA Healthcare System's Employee Occupational Health Department, where she has been a nurse practitioner since 2016. Her practice focuses on worker injury/illness/exposure care, pre-placement and periodic physical exams, bloodborne pathogen exposures and sharps safety, medical surveillance programs, and quality improvement projects. Some of her recent studies included case studies related to her clinical work, resulting in published manuscripts with colleagues. She has also presented these topics to OEH colleagues at local and national conferences to increase the knowledge and further education of occupational health nurses.
