MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The West Virginia University School of Nursing is pleased to announce that Dr. Jennifer Mallow, PhD, FNP-BC, has been selected to be a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing (Academy).
Mallow is a professor in the Adult Health Department of the WVU School of Nursing. 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 an honorific society that recognizes nursing's most accomplished leaders in policy, research, practice, administration, and academia. Academy Fellows, from nearly 40 countries, hold a wide variety of influential roles in health care. 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.
Mallow received her BSN from Waynesburg College; her MSN from WVU School of Nursing; and her PhD from WVU School of Nursing. Her research focus is the development and use of technology to improve access and outcomes for rural and underserved individuals living with multiple chronic conditions. In 2015, Mallow was named a National Academy of Practice Fellow, and in 2021, she was named Research MVP by the WVU Office of the Provost.
“We are thrilled to share the news of Dr. Mallow’s induction as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing,” said Tara Hulsey, WVU School of Nursing Dean and E. Jane Martin Endowed Professor. “The recognition is a well-deserved milestone in Dr. Mallow’s career.”
“I am honored to be viewed as a leader in nursing and I look forward to contributing my time and energy to further reduce health disparities through work with the Academy,” Mallow said.
Through a competitive, rigorous application process, the Academy’s Fellow Selection Committee reviewed a record number of applications, representing a 30% increase from the previous year, to select the 2022 Fellows.
Mallow was one of 250 individuals selected to be inducted and the only nurse from West Virginia this year. The 2022 Fellows represent 35 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and 17 countries.
The 2022 inductees will be recognized for their significant contributions to health and health care at the Academy’s annual Health Policy Conference, taking place Oct. 27-29, 2022 in Washington, D.C. at the Marriott Marquis during the Induction Ceremony on the evening of Oct. 29. Once the newest Fellows are inducted, the Academy will be comprised of more than 3,000 leaders who are experts in policy, research, administration, practice, and academia that champion health and wellness, locally and globally.
