Kara McGee is Associate Clinical Professor in Duke University's School of Nursing with secondary appointment in Neurology. As an HIV specialist, her research addresses stigma reduction, health equity, and chronic illness management for marginalized populations, particularly women living with HIV in the Southern United States.

Her investigations examine adaptive leadership frameworks in chronic care, resilience mechanisms among Black women with HIV, and stigma dynamics during disease outbreaks. Current projects develop nurse practitioner training models for HIV care and examine PrEP delivery strategies at Historically Black Colleges.

Publications demonstrate expertise in qualitative methodologies, HIV care optimization, and nursing education innovations. Significant themes include stigma reduction strategies, health equity interventions, and ethical responses to emerging infectious diseases.
