Dr. Suzanne Hetzel Campbell [Ph.D. University of Rhode Island, MSN/BSN University of Connecticut, RN-(US-CT & WA, & Canada-BC), IBCLC, WHNP (CT), CCSNE] is Associate Professor (present) and previous Director of the School of Nursing at the University of British Columbia (2012-2017), Vancouver, Canada. Her program of research focuses on the use of innovative teaching methods to transform interprofessional health student learning and clinical practice by incorporating technical and non-technical skills such as communication, therapeutic relationship, leadership and team-building in her simulation research. With clinical expertise in obstetrics, lactation, and women's health, her blended program of scholarly activity includes areas of significant impact for nursing and the health care profession globally in both lactation and simulation, specifically around the provision of intimate care during pregnancy, delivery, and lactation. Co-editor and author of award winning texts in simulation and lactation, articles in nursing, education, lactation, and innovative teaching, she enjoys teaching, research and practice as well as leading workshops for faculty and students in these areas.
Simulation applications in the underserved such as: Limited English Proficient Patients (LEP), incarcerated, and transgender populations is the anchor of my research. I completed a simulation research post-doc with Dr. Pamela Jeffries at Johns Hopkins University which had a core foundation in caring and empathy within this community. As an Ethnic Minority Scholar and Healthcare Leadership Fellow, I earned my PhD in Nursing with a focus on simulation and LEP Patients. My current research activities include creating, testing and implementing best practices in different types of simulation to explore and potentially decrease healthcare disparities. Cultural awareness and linguistically competent care are hallmarks of my teaching, scholarship, and practice—a true commitment to diversity.

The Center for Nursing Discovery (CND) is a SSH-accredited simulation center at Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON). We offer a safe, supportive, and learner-centered environment for over 15,000 annual student visits. Our team is comprised of faculty and staff who excel at teaching and logistics across 3 academic programs [Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN), Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs]. The CND is actively involved in the dissemination of simulation scholarship through publications and presentations that reach both national and international audiences. From 2017-2021, the CND helped produce: 18 publications (2 more under review), 4 invited presentations, and 17 peer reviewed presentations. For more information, please visit our website.
Erin Killingsworth, PhD, RN, CNE is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Louise Herrington School of Nursing at Baylor University in Dallas, TX. She has been a nurse educator for over 10 years and has taught prelicensure, master’s, and doctoral nursing students.
