Teaching:
Dr. Garner is an Assistant Professor at Baylor University Louise Herrington School of Nursing where she teaches Consumer of Research and Clinical Nursing Research in the undergraduate program and Servant Leadership in the graduate program. Dr. Garner has a passion for mentoring students through the research process and has supported student research presentations at local, national, and international forums such as the National Conference for Undergraduate Research.
Research:
Dr. Garner’s research interests involve building healthcare capacity in low and middle income countries, nurse migration, and teaching and learning models that transcend cultural boundaries. Dr. Garner has an ongoing research trajectory and partners with colleagues at Bangalore Baptist Hospital (BBH) and the Rebekah Ann Naylor School of Nursing to build healthcare capacity in Bengaluru, India. Through this research, Dr. Garner and co-researchers found health professionals in India seek to be empowered to use the latest healthcare technologies to improve patient care and have a strong desire for increased opportunities for continuing education and global research partnerships. Dr. Garner and partners in India used these findings to justify a need for funding which was recently awarded by the US Agency for International Development American Schools and Hospitals Abroad for $652,800 to build a Simulation Education and Research Centre in Bengaluru, India. Simulation is “an educational strategy in which a particular set of conditions are created or replicated to resemble authentic situations that are possible in real life” (Clinical Simulation in Nursing, 2016). Simulation provides healthcare students and professionals with opportunities to perfect clinical skills and improve clinical decision making. This center serves as a site for interprofessional and cross-disciplinary education and research in South India. Additionally, Dr. Garner was awarded a 2016-2018 Fulbright-Nehru Research Flex Grant to study the impact of simulation in nursing education on teaching and learning outcomes in India. Dr. Garner frequently engages undergraduate and graduate nursing students in her research. Students have presented their collaborative findings in national and international venues such as the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR), The British NCUR, and Sigma Theta Tau International.
