(Maria Amada Fletcher Apacible)
RN, MS, FNP-BC/AGACNP-BC, CCNP
Assistant Clinical Professor, UCSF School of Nursing
I have a broad interest and passion for global health and have been fortunate to work with four different NGOs in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, as well as resource-challenged areas closer to home. I completed my family practice residency in the Bureau of Indian Affairs and returned to the Navajo Nation during the COVID-19 pandemic. I have a B.A. in International Studies from the Jackson School of International Studies and a B.S.N. both from the University of Washington, my M.S. in Family Nurse Practice with minors in Nursing Education and Healthcare Policy from UCSF, and my post-masters AGACNP from the University of Pennsylvania.
I am blessed to work with Dr. Rebecca Silvers on curriculum development and facilitating the Cultural Humility course for the UCSF Nursing Global Health Institute as I complete my Doctor of Nursing Practice at the UCSF School of Nursing where I work as an Assistant Clinical Professor.
