- MS in Nursing (Nurse Educator, 2017), University of Nevada, Reno
- BS in Nursing (2014) and BS in Neuroscience (2012), University of Nevada, Reno
Her research program centers on symptom science and health services research, specifically developing telehealth-delivered symptom management interventions for chronic lung diseases. She focuses on improving outcomes for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients through innovative breathing exercises and psychosocial support, addressing critical gaps in remote care accessibility.
Analysis of her 2019-2024 publications reveals consistent focus on IPF symptom management via telehealth, with emerging themes in lung transplantation psychosocial processes and policy advocacy (e.g., SOAR Act for oxygen access). Her work bridges clinical practice and nursing education, emphasizing patient-centered telehealth solutions for underserved respiratory conditions.
Dr. Bussa-Carlson actively mentors undergraduate and graduate nursing students using evidence-based active learning techniques. Her clinical background informs curriculum development in symptom management and chronic disease care, though specific grant details are not disclosed in available materials.
Her research is conducted in partnership with Renown Health's pulmonary rehabilitation programs and the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, leveraging clinical-academic collaborations to translate telehealth interventions into real-world practice for IPF patients.
