K. M. Reeder, PhD, RN, has a broad range of experience in critical care and community health clinical practice, management, teaching and research. Dr. Reeder completed doctoral education in nursing at The University of Iowa, where she examined the role of lay consultations in treatment-seeking decision-making in Acute Myocardial Infarction, using common sense models. Also at The University of Iowa, she completed the MSN, Adult Health Clinical Nurse Specialist program, where she studied clinical outcomes of implementing a pressure ulcer prevention protocol in the acute care hospital setting.

As a post doctoral fellow and senior research associate, Dr. Reeder works with Dr. Carol Smith, Principal Investigator, on the National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute (NHLBI) funded Nurse Practitioner Heart Failure Group Clinic Appointments clinical trial. The purpose of this longitudinal intervention study is to examine the impact of group appointments with advanced practice nurse practitioners on reducing recurrent hospitalizations for Heart Failure and other clinical outcomes, including functional status, quality of life, self-management of Heart Failure symptoms and use of and satisfaction with health care services. Dr. Reeder currently receives supervised training with ongoing nursing intervention studies by nationally known interdisciplinary researchers who serve as mentors and enable necessary skills development to independently conduct complex intervention and clinical outcomes studies in prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases with an interdisciplinary perspective, using sophisticated analytic techniques, and formulating novel conceptualizations.
