Dr. Kristine Ruggiero's PhD, MSN, RN, CPNP career in nursing began when she graduated from Yale University as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in the Primary Care Track, with a special concentration in Pediatric Chronic Illness Management. After her son was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect (CHD), Dr. Ruggiero obtained her doctorate and focused her research on the care coordination of children with chronic illness, specifically the care of children with heart defects. Her research validated that understanding a parent's perceptions of their child's health status is important as parents drive healthcare utilization in the pediatric setting. Dr. Ruggiero has extensive clinical experience as both a pediatric nurse and pediatric nurse practitioner in various inpatient and outpatient acute care and primary care settings. Currently Dr. Ruggiero practices clinically at Boston Children's Hospital. Dr. Ruggiero is also actively involved in research and presents her research nationally and internationally. She is a Nurse Scientist at Boston Children's Hospital in the Department of Medicine. Dr. Ruggiero has also held academic appointments for the last fifteen years and serves currently as an Assistant Professor of Nursing at MGH Institute of Health Professions teaching in both the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Accelerated BSN programs. Michael Ruggiero MHS, PA-C graduated from Quinnipiac University with a Master's degree in Health Science and Physician Assistant Studies. Studying sports medicine and athletic training in his undergraduate studies, Michael built on his interest in orthopedics by starting out his career as a PA in Orthopedic Surgery. Since then, Michael has practiced for the last 17 years in the fields of Orthopedic medicine, Pediatric and Adult Urgent Care and Physician Assistant education. Michael has been an Assistant Professor of Physician Assistant Studies at the University of New England, and at MGH Institute of Health Professions, where he currently teaches. In addition to teaching, Michael has held many leadership roles in PA education including the Director of Clinical Education, and Remediation Coordinator working with at-risk PA students.
