Background

Jodi Sutherland is an associate professor of nursing at °®¶¹´«Ã½'s Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences. She has been a nurse for more than 20 years and has experience in hospital and community settings.

After completing her nurse residency program, she began her career in a hospital cardiac surgical unit.

After five years of acute care practice, Sutherland transitioned to a community health setting, where she worked as a public health nurse and a home care nurse. She says practicing as a nurse in the community was life-changing and transformational to her career.

As a public health nurse, Sutherland learned to investigate, educate and advocate for individuals and populations in health restoration, support and promotion.
