Jacqueline M. McGrath, PhD, RN, FNAP, FAAN (she/her/hers)

Professor Emeritus/ Research Professor
UT Health San Antonio, School of Nursing

Dr. Jacqueline McGrath is a Professor at the UTH San Antonio, School of Nursing. Dr. McGrath is an excellent scholar and teacher. She has mentored more than 20 PhD students among more than 50 mentees at all levels across her career trajectory. Research foci include integration of family-centered and developmentally supportive caregiving with high-risk and premature infants and their families in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). More specifically, her work has focused on the biobehavioral outcomes related to increasing parent engagement for both parents and the infant. Increasing parent engagement in the NICU is believed to be a mechanism for influencing the development of parent self-management skills after infant discharge and ultimately enhancing infant long-term developmental outcomes. She is well-known in the field for her scholarly publications, with more than 150 peer-reviewed articles, 125+ editorials and short manuscripts as well more than 50+ book chapters. Since 2014, Dr. McGrath has been the Co-Editor for Advances in Neonatal Care the journal of the National Association of Neonatal Nurses. She is also the Co-Editor for Developmental Care for Newborns and Infants: A Guide for Health Professions, 3rd edition (2022). In 2007, Dr. McGrath became a fellow in the American Academy of Nursing. She also received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Association of Neonatal Nurses in 2017. Dr. McGrath believes leadership is seeing the brilliance in other people and creating joy at work is central to success.
