Register for this event:
The annual Kathleen Hickey Endowed Lectureship in Science of Cardiovascular Care, hosted by the Center for Research on People of Color at Columbia University School of Nursing, memorializes Kathleen Hickey, EdD, a Columbia Nursing professor who conducted innovative, interdisciplinary research to improve cardiovascular health. Her research and clinical practice was focused on cardiogenetics, clinical care and management of atrial and ventricular arrythmias, and prevention of sudden cardiac death. Hickey was also co-director of the Precision in Symptom Self-Management Center and held a joint appointment in the Division of Cardiology (electrophysiology) as both a family and adult nurse practitioner. The lectures will be held every February and will be free and open to the public. This is the first endowed lectureship at Columbia University honoring a nurse scientist.
