Bio
Dr Pamela Cromer, a Nurse Practitioner and Professor at Georgia’s Augusta University, has received widespread regional/national/international media attention for her work as the College of Nursing’s Director of Costa Layman International Outreach and Community Engagements. With a coalition of interprofessional academic medical clinicians and community stakeholders, her work with migrant/Latino populations, children in kinship care, and commercial truck drivers has helped to decrease disparity and transform rural health service access, integrated care delivery and reduced healthcare costs among vulnerable populations in the southeast. A member of the National Society of Experiential Educators and the National Hispanic Medical Association, she is a Fellow of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) and the American Academy of Nursing, and recipient of the 2016 AANP State Practice Award for Georgia. Other recognitions: Augusta University 2024 Excellence in Service-Learning Faculty Award, 2020 Graduate School Faculty Award, and the 2017 College of Nursing Distinguished Alumna Award.
