Debbie Sheppard-LeMoine

Dr. Debbie Sheppard-LeMoine joined UWindsor as Dean of the Faculty of Nursing in Sept. 2021. Coming from Nova Scotia with 30 years of experience as a Canadian educator including 15 years of international teaching, research and project experience, Debbie’s program of research includes successfully leading an international research team  on interprofessional learning within a simulated, family assessment environment. She has completed a study on enhanced home visiting practices that surround women and children who live within vulnerability. Currently, she is on an implementation science research team examining collaborative, interprofessional practices that foster community and citizen access to health services and optimal scope of RN practice in emergency services. Understanding the impact of vulnerability on interprofessional practices and women and children’s lives have shaped and influenced her lifelong passions and collaborative work in the community, public health and with families. The social determinants of health, resilience and family nursing theory and understanding system structural practices informs all of her work.
