About

Dr. Julia Harrington is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare education, with a primary focus on the integration of large language models (LLMs) into nursing pedagogy. Her most-cited work, "Large Language Models in Nursing Education: Concept Analysis" (2025, 6 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding how LLMs can be meaningfully applied in clinical training contexts. In this seminal concept analysis, Dr. Harrington systematically examined the relevance, defining attributes, and contextual applications of LLMs, addressing a critical gap in the literature where technological adoption had outpaced conceptual clarity. Her work offers educators and practitioners a structured approach to evaluating AI tools for nursing curricula, emphasizing both pedagogical benefits and ethical considerations. By demystifying the abstract nature of LLMs, Dr. Harrington has established herself as a key voice in shaping how emerging technologies can enhance, rather than replace, human-centered healthcare education. Her research continues to influence discussions on AI literacy in nursing, making her an essential resource for students and researchers navigating the evolving digital landscape of medical training.
