Emily Carroll teaches the pediatric elements of the nursing program at St. Olaf. Her love of pediatrics began while working at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Prior to teaching at St. Olaf, Prof. Carroll was the Director of Clinical Care and family nurse practitioner at HealthFinders Collaborative, a community clinic for underserved populations in rural Rice County. Prof. Carroll began as a part-time simulation coordinator in the nursing department in 2018 and never left. She continues to work part-time as lead nurse practitioner at HealthFinders and carries a half-time teaching load at St. Olaf. Her clinical practice is in primary care with an emphasis on opioid use disorder and adolescent sexual health.
Prof. Carroll is a fierce advocate for nursing and believes St. Olaf nurses have the power to transform health care. Her research program highlights effective nurse pedagogy as well as demonstrating the capacity of nurses and nurse practitioners to expand access to health care to vulnerable populations, especially in rural areas.
Prof. Carroll grew up in Toronto, Canada and lives in Northfield with her husband, two increasingly large children and one small dog.
