Debra Giugliano Included in Second Cohort of SUNY Nursing Simulation Fellows

Debra Giugliano, RN, PhD, CPNP, CPON, clinical assistant professor at the Stony Brook School of Nursing, has been included in the second cohort of SUNY Nursing Simulation Fellows.

One of 10 returning fellows from last year's inaugural cohort, Dr. Giugliano will contribute to the SUNY-wide Simulation Shared Resource Library, advancing healthcare education in New York. 

Launched by SUNY Chancellor John B. King Jr. in 2024, this fellowship is part of a statewide initiative to enhance nursing education through simulation-based learning.

"SUNY is at the forefront of innovative academic and professional development models to help train the next generation of nurses and health care professionals," said SUNY Chancellor King.

"The SUNY Nursing Simulation Fellowship supports educators from throughout the SUNY System to help generate materials that will provide nursing students with realistic and hands-on experience as part of their coursework.

A certified pediatric nurse practitioner and oncology nurse, Dr. Giugliano founded the School Intervention and Reentry Program at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, helping young patients transition back to school. 

As the School of Nursing's director of simulation education, Dr. Giugliano will play an integral role in the development of SBU as a SUNY Regional Nursing Simulation Center.
