Bio

Dr. Robinson's research over the past 10 years has been focused and/or driven by the unique and diverse health, healthcare, and social needs (e.g., tobacco misuse and abuse, mental health, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, SDOH, shared decision making, etc.) of the Alaska Native and American Indian Community I served during my time in the public health service.

She seeks to collaborate with others using my various experiences to address unmet health needs of the community (e.g., opioid misuse and abuse during pregnancy, neonatal withdrawal), support student projects (e.g., immunization of elders in assisted living), and further the profession (e.g., SETMuP medication therapy management billing project).

While in the USPHS, Dr. Robinson had the opportunity to deploy for two natural emergencies, spent three months in Liberia assisting with an Ebola vaccination trial, served on numerous committees in leadership positions (Rx for Change - tobacco cessation initiative, Alaska Public Health Association Board, Interprofessional Education Collaborative, etc.).
