Biography

Emily Elliott, Ph.D., R.N., is an assistant professor of clinical nursing in the OHSU School of Nursing Portland campus. 

Dr. Elliott joined OHSU in 2015, teaching initially in Ashland, before moving to Portland. She worked clinically at the bedside for OHSU hospital in both the emergency department and procedural care units. In 2021 she transitioned back to teaching on the Portland campus after completing her doctorate work in 2020, which focused on researching accelerated baccalaureate undergraduate nursing students and their perceptions of blended learning environments. She has predominantly taught in the OHSU Portland accelerated undergraduate nursing program in the acute care nursing course that she has coordinated since 2021.

Dr. Elliott's research interests focus on acute care nursing and linking both learning and teaching theories to improve education for nursing students preparing to enter the nursing career professionally.
