Jeungok Choi is a Professor at the University of Massachusetts Elaine Marieb College of Nursing. As a nurse informatician, Dr Choi’s contributions are research in self-management of chronic conditions for underserved older adults and mentoring of faculty and students from underrepresented backgrounds. Her research has led to the development of pictographs to self-management instructions and a tablet-based cognitive behavioral therapy intervention (Tab-CBI) which has advanced self-management by providing new knowledge and an actionable strategy for clinicians to reach communities living with chronic conditions. The pictographs and Tab-CBI have been widely adopted in community senior centers (e.g., Chinese senior center) and community clinics. Dr. Choi has actively engaged in mentoring of Asian nurse professionals to support their successful career advancement and becoming a global nurse leader. Her mentoring effort includes a mutually beneficial partnership approach which is distinct from top-down, senior-to-junior relationships. She directed a mutual mentoring initiative (Nurturing Transplants) on campus and launched the 1st Interdisciplinary Mutual Mentoring Workshop with 6 disciplines from 5 universities. Dr. Choi received her BSN and MSN from Seoul National University, PhD from Boston College, MPH from Tuft University, and Postdoctoral Research Fellowship from Columbia University, School of Nursing and Department of Medical Informatics.
