Biography

With a healthcare journey spanning over 44 years as a nurse, nurse practitioner, and nurse educator, Dr. LaMothe has witnessed firsthand the vital need for interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) to prepare healthcare, public health, and social work students for effective collaboration in their professions.

As a nurse educator, she is dedicated to the advancement of nurse leaders who cultivate collaborative practice environments. Nurses are the connectors between professions and patients promoting effective collaboration. This enables professionals to practice at their highest licensure levels. Advocating for IPCP within workplaces and communities is central to my role. As a clinical associate professor, Dr. LaMothe mentors future nursing faculty and faculty colleagues in Indiana University’s health science, public health, and social work schools, aiming to further the mission of NAP. The values of collaboration, patient-centeredness, inclusivity, and interconnectedness are competencies that are threaded throughout the nursing curriculum. My scholarship and practice have centered around these values.

Dr. LaMothe is committed to advocating for collaborative care models at Indiana University School of Nursing and the IU Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education, ensuring that future healthcare leaders are well-prepared for collaborative teamwork.
