ST PAUL, MN, United States
Katie Molitor holds a BA in Nursing from St. Olaf College, a MA in Nursing Education from St. Catherine University, a graduate certificate in Healthcare Simulation from Boise State University, and a DNP from St. Catherine University. After working in obstetrics and newborn nursing, she soon realized the joy she found in teaching and transitioned from the bedside to academia. She is currently an Associate Professor of Nursing at St. Catherine University in the Institute for Simulation and Interprofessional Learning (I-SAIL). The moment she discovered simulation as a teaching modality was a turning point in her career, and she has been embracing it for 17 years. She is devoted to implementing high-quality simulation and sharing her love of learning with her students. She enjoys mentoring faculty and graduate students in simulation methodology. She also appreciates collaborating across departments to implement interprofessional simulation. In 2021, Katie was honored to receive the Faculty Daisy Award from her nursing students, which is given in recognition of extraordinary nursing faculty. Katie has served in leadership positions on several committees at St. Kate’s and has been integral in developing new curricula and processes within the department. Katie’s DNP project was a simulation intervention designed to improve nursing students’ communication with healthcare providers. Additional scholarly interests include interprofessional simulation in academia, developing and maintaining simulated participant programs, and how healthcare improv can benefit healthcare students.
