Suzy Lockwood PhD, MSN, RN, OCN, FAAN, a core member of the NOEP Steering Committee, was named a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing (AAN) at the AAN’s annual meeting on October 19, 2013 in Washington, DC. Dr. Lockwood is a nursing professor and director of the Center for Oncology Education & Research at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas.
Fellows of the Academy–one of the most prestigious honors in nursing–are nominated and selected based on their leadership skills and commitment to the profession. The Academy is comprised of more than 2,000 nurse leaders in education, management, practice, policy and research. Fellows represent all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 19 countries.
Dr. Lockwood is certainly well deserving of this honor, as she has significantly contributed to the nursing profession through her expertise and leadership in oncology nursing. Her efforts to encourage nurses to specialize in oncology involve developing new oncology educational models for undergraduates and graduate students. Dr. Lockwood has presented at more than 40 cancer-focused presentations to community members and leaders.

Thank you Dr. Lockwood for all that you do for NOEP, for your students, for the nursing profession, and for cancer patients who have benefited from your expertise, passion, and advocacy!
