Description
Professor Broholm joined LIU/Brooklyn in 2012 after providing primary care in Brooklyn for 17 years. She teaches the Diagnosis and Management courses and Primary Care in the FNP program and has taught Health Assessment and Community Clinical in the undergraduate program. The focus of Professor Broholm’s work as a nurse and then nurse practitioner has been on addressing the health needs of traditionally under-served communities. As an RN, she worked as a public health nurse in a high-risk maternal/infant program. After becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner, Prof. Broholm provided primary care in community health centers serving low-income neighborhoods. Professor Broholm currently provides urgent care at Callen-Lorde, a Community Health Center caring for the LGBTQ+ communities. She is also consulting with Callen-Lorde on the development of a post-graduate Nurse Practitioner Fellowship program in LGBTQ+ health.
Prof. Broholm is founder and past Chair of the Diversity Special Interest Group in NONPF (the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties) which has the goal of developing tools and resources for NP faculty to address health disparities and implicit bias in their institutions and to promote student and faculty diversity. Her current area of scholarship is on educational strategies to increase awareness about health disparities and bias, and reduce implicit bias among health care providers.
