Alexa Colgrove Curtis, Ph.D., associate dean for Research & Innovation and endowed professor for the Orvis School of Nursing, has been selected to become a 2024 Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing (the Academy).

Induction into the Academy is a significant milestone in a nurse leader’s career in which their accomplishments are honored by their colleagues within and outside the profession. Fellows are selected based on their contributions and impact to advance the public’s health.

The Academy is a policy organization and an honorific society that recognizes nursing's most accomplished leaders in policy, research, practice, administration and academia to advance equitable solutions to the most complex health care challenges. Academy fellows hold a wide variety of influential roles in health care in the United States and abroad. Induction into the fellowship represents more than recognition of one's accomplishments within the nursing profession. Fellows contribute their collective expertise to the Academy, engaging with health leaders nationally and globally to improve health and achieve health equity by impacting policy through nursing leadership, innovation and science.

“I am honored and humbled to be invited by my esteemed colleagues to join the ranks of the American Academy of Nursing Fellows as we employ the collective power of nursing to improve the lives of all people,” Curtis said.

Curtis is a nursing scholar with expansive experience in nursing education, research, APRN clinical practice and academic leadership. Her career prioritizes improving access to quality healthcare for underserved populations with a particular focus on rural communities, integrated behavioral health in primary care, the prevention and management of substance use disorders and adolescent health.

“This is a recognition so few nurses are able to earn in their impressive careers,” Cameron Duncan, Ph.D., interim dean of the Orvis School of Nursing said. “I couldn’t be more proud of Dr. Curtis for this huge accomplishment.”

The newest fellows, selected from a competitive pool of applicants, represent 37 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and 14 countries. Their unique expertise and expansive body of knowledge will soon bolster the collective impact of over 3,000 Academy Fellows to achieve the Academy’s vision of healthy lives for all people.

Curtis and the 2024 inductees will be recognized for their substantial, sustained and significant contributions to health and health care at the Academy’s annual , taking place on Oct. 31 – Nov. 2, 2024, in Washington, D.C., during the induction ceremony on the evening of Nov. 2. After the ceremony, the new inductees can use their FAAN (Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing) credential, the most prestigious recognition in nursing.
