Dr. Carman focuses her scholarship, research, and advocacy to promote advanced practice nursing in the emergency care setting. Clinical interests include ongoing evolution of the role of emergency nurse practitioners as well as clinical excellence in emergency care. Dr. Carman helped to develop the new Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner post-graduate certificate program at UNC, which utilized virtual simulation to complement clinical experiences.
