Two professors in the UCSF School of
Nursing were recently elected into the prestigious American Academy of Nursing. Mary
White, UCSF associate professor in the department of community health systems, and
Kathleen Puntillo, UCSF associate professor of physiological nursing, will be inducted as
Fellows of the Academy in November, 1999. The honor comes in recognition of their past
accomplishments and potential future contributions to the nursing field.
Puntillo was the first to comprehensively evaluate the pain
critically ill patients experience and recently broadened her pain research to include
patients admitted into emergency rooms. She is the lead investigator of a multi-site study
of more than 5,000 patients that is assessing the amount of pain associated with commonly
performed procedures such as wound dressing changes. Puntillo is the director of the
Critical Care/Trauma and Acute Care Nurse Practitioner graduate programs. Puntillo
received her MS and DNSc from UCSF and became a faculty member in 1993. She is a resident
of Marin County.
