Dr. Parker's primary research interests concern the roles and interactions of healthcare workers, especially those involved in the implementation of changed processes of care. She was the principal investigator of a study that examined the design of nursing care jobs and its effect on worker motivation, satisfaction and care quality. She has also served as co-investigator on several projects related to the organization of care and care changes within the VA healthcare system. In addition, she has taught organizational behavior, human resource management, and managerial skills for problem solving. She was the founding director of the MPH certificate in healthcare management, and led the successful initial bid for CAHME (Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education) accreditation. She served as a member of the Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). She received her DBA from the Boston University Graduate School of Management, concentrating in organizational behavior, and previously earned an EdM at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and recently completed her term as chair of the Healthcare management division of the Academy of Management, the international organization of management scholars. She currently serves as Associate Dean for Graduate Education and Faculty Administration in the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire, and remains involved in the education of BU DrPH students.

I am a woman who has juggled career and family (3 children) for many years. Earlier in my career, I studied work/life integration and thus it has long been an area of both personal and professional interest. My research interests focus on the application of organizational theory to healthcare settings and especially the experiences of healthcare workers, and my methodological strength is in the use of qualitative field research techniques. I believe in a mentoring team approach as no one person can provide all the mentoring needed, and often a diversity of opinions and advice can be most helpful.
