Nurse Researcher Miyong Kim Selected for Prestigious Fellowship

By Lynn Schultz-Writsel
School of Nursing

A national fellowship program focused on leading the country's health care system into the 21st century has been awarded to Johns Hopkins School of Nursing associate professor Miyong Kim. Kim is one of 20 nurses in executive leadership roles nationwide selected as a 2005 Robert Wood Johnson Executive Nurse Fellow.

Now in its seventh year, the three-year fellowship program is designed to strategically position the voice of nursing across many sectors of the economy in a health care system undergoing unprecedented change and challenges.

Martha Hill, dean of the School of Nursing, said, "Dr. Kim has demonstrated expert knowledge, commitment to the value of research in improving care and outcomes in minority populations, and determination to succeed in a rigorous academic environment. She now stands at a critical crossroad in her career where this fellowship can ensure her emergence as a premier nurse leader."

As part of the fellowship, Kim will have an opportunity to undertake a nursing leadership project, with funding support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and matching funds from the SoN. Kim has chosen to develop a replicable program to enhance research, teaching and patient care and service in the delivery of culturally sensitive and effective health to underserved populations. Although she will focus on Korean-Americans, she predicts the program will be transferable to other ethnic minority populations.
