About Allen Prettyman

I apply expertise in interdisciplinary preventive healthcare and blend it with my administrative experience to lead healthcare innovations. My educational trajectory has focused on families and applying a holistic model and approach to healthcare. I work to provide nursing students with an interdisciplinary educational platform to learn and apply clinical skills. In addition, I successfully balance the role of expert nurse practitioner providing care to individuals with administration responsibilities (e.g, staffing, outcomes research protections, budget). I strive for unsurpassed excellence in clinical outcomes and, to this end, develop ongoing collaborative relationships with interdisciplinary translational researchers. I am acutely aware of the importance of communication among all team members and constructing a realistic healthcare plan, timeline, and budget. In summary, I strongly endorse nurse-led patient-centered care using a collaborative team approach of integrated healthcare that supports preceptors and provides students with a rigorous educational environment.
