Child, Family, and Population Health Nursing
Associate Professor
Dr. Eunjung Kim graduated from the Catholic University of Korea School of Nursing in 1986. She earned an M.S.N. in the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Program (2006) and a Ph.D. in Nursing Science and Human Development and Family Studies (2001) from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
As a nurse scientist and active pediatric nurse practitioner, Dr. Kim has advanced nursing knowledge in family health, mental health, and parent training. Much of her work has focused on exploring the experiences and voices of minority families who navigate living in two cultures and face intergenerational conflicts due to differing rates of acculturation, with a particular emphasis on Korean immigrant families.
Dr. Kim used this understanding to redefine minority parenting and develop a culturally tailored parent training program that integrates culture, faith, and evidence-based parenting practices. This program continues to be actively used in local Korean immigrant communities.
Dr. Kim has authored over 40 articles in peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, and international journals. In addition to her academic work, she serves as a pediatric nurse practitioner at a local family clinic.
