Caitlyn attended THE Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio for both Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in Nursing in which she graduated from in 2018 and 2021, respectfully. She knew she wanted to care for patients of all ages, which led her becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. Her clinical rotations included both rural and urban communities which helped to gain experience caring for a wide range of patients. While obtaining her post graduate degree, she worked as a progressive care oncology nurse at The James Cancer Hospital in Columbus, Ohio with a specialty in both lung and bone cancers.
Caitlyn completed a nursing residency program at The James as well as her own evidence-based research alongside her nursing colleagues. Working in a research hospital where evidence-based care was the domain, her love for orthopedics blossomed. Caitlyn's practitioner experience began in surgical preadmission testing which then led to a career in both sports medicine and general orthopedics in a rural walk-in clinic in Ohio. During her time in Ohio, she had the opportunity to attend several conferences throughout the United States with a focus on primary care orthopedics, sports medicine, and office procedures such as corticosteroid injections. Caitlyn is thrilled to now be a part of the UT Health Orthopedic family.
