Kathryn A Parke, DNP, RN, CPNP

Associate Professor/Clinical

I have been a pediatric nurse practitioner since 2001. Currently I am the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Course Track Coordinator at UT Health San Antonio School of Nursing. I actively participated in the redesign of the BSN to DNP curriculum and have redesigned six courses in the PNP program and participated in the redesign of a core DNP course. My teaching focuses on providing experiential learning and meeting the individual learning needs of my students. I envisioned and co-created a pediatric telehealth simulation experience for PNP and FNP students to increase student exposure to essential pediatric diagnoses. I practice in a school based clinic caring for adolescents and their children from the school day care. I am interested in improving the health and future health outcomes of under-served children by improving access to healthcare and addressing social and behavioral determinants of health which impact their current and future health.
