Chair Graduate Program Jefferson College of Nursing, Thomas Jefferson University
Thomas Jefferson University
An outstanding educator, clinician, and mentor with broad expertise in women’s health and neonatal issues, and in matters related to care of the disabled and rural health care, Dr. Ksenia Zukowsky serves as Chair of Jefferson College of Nursing Graduate Program. She also is an assistant professor at Jefferson College of Nursing.
As an expert in neonatal nutrition, growth and development and palliative care, Dr. Zukowsky’s research demonstrated that feeding at least some human milk to otherwise-healthy low-birth weight premature infants led to improved mental and motor development assessments at six-month corrected age.
Dr. Zukowsky authored and initiated the Neonatal Nurse Practitioner program at Jefferson College of Nursing and also initiated the Neonatal Nurse Practitioner role in Thomas Jefferson University Hospital’s intensive care nursery.
Her work to develop online graduate nursing programs to improve care in underserved communities helped to increase the number of neonatal nurse practitioners working in rural Pennsylvania.
Dr. Zukowsky is a volunteer and consultant to Project HOPE in Neonatal Nursing Curriculum and mentors graduate faculty in Serra Leone and Malawi.
