Dr. Odreman's Program of Research

My program of research is grounded in a holistic commitment to strengthening nursing education through evidence‑informed teaching practices, thoughtful curriculum design, and the development of strong, adaptive leaders, conceptualized through a Three‑Legged Stool Model in which each leg represents a distinct yet interdependent strand of inquiry. Together, these pillars support my overarching goal of enhancing the quality of nursing education and ultimately improving patient outcomes by preparing confident, competent, and compassionate nurses.

 

Individually, each leg of the model addresses a critical component of nursing education, and collectively, they form a coherent, stable, and future‑focused research program that advances educational scholarship while supporting the development of a highly skilled nursing workforce. By integrating simulation pedagogy, curriculum design, and leadership development, my research responds to contemporary health‑care challenges and contributes to the ongoing evolution of nursing education as both a scholarly and practice‑based discipline.
