About

Dawn O. Eckhoff is a nurse educator and researcher whose work centers on preparing nurse practitioners (NPs) for the evolving demands of modern healthcare, with a particular focus on telehealth, gerontologic care, and health equity. Her most impactful contribution is a 2021 study exploring NP student perceptions of a pilot simulated gerontologic telehealth visit (14 citations), which provided critical early evidence for integrating telehealth training into NP curricula—a need accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Building on this, her 2022 paper (7 citations) used student reflections to inform the design of effective telehealth curricula, offering a practical, learner-centered framework for educators. Eckhoff has also advanced inclusive care through her 2021 work on enhancing care for the LGBTQ+ community (5 citations), demonstrating a commitment to addressing health disparities. Her research directly responds to national education recommendations and the rapid adoption of telehealth, making her a key voice in shaping how future NPs are trained to deliver competent, compassionate care across diverse populations and settings.
