Assistant Professor Sonia Udod Presents at Prestigious Global Conference

Faculty in the College of Nursing often have the opportunity to present their research to nursing colleagues at various conferences, but to be selected as only one of three Canadian nurse researchers to present at an impressive international conference for management and organization scholars is a real honour.

Assistant Professor Dr. Sonia Udod was selected to deliver her presentation titled, Swimming Upstream: Role Stressors and Coping Strategies of Nurse Managers at the recent Academy of Management* Annual Meeting and Conference held in Anaheim, California. The paper from which her presentation drew from was based on her Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF) study investigating Role Stressors and Coping Experiences of Nurse Managers in Rural and Urban Acute Care Facilities in Saskatchewan and Alberta (Udod, Cummings, & Care). Dr. Udod’s paper was reviewed by three members of the Academy for inclusion in the Health Care Management Division.

“I am very pleased our paper was accepted for oral presentation at this level,” said Udod. “Belonging to such a prestigious organization allows me to network with key researchers in my area of study and bring new and meaningful understandings and findings to my students within the College of Nursing and advance my own program of research.”

*The Academy of Management is a premier global community of scholars, practitioners and students dedicated to creating and disseminating knowledge about management and organizations.
