Adrienne Martinez-Hollingsworth, PhD, MSN, RN, PHN
Dr. Adrienne Martinez-Hollingsworth is a Latina Registered Nurse, a health services researcher and first-generation high school graduate. She is in her 2nd year of postdoctoral training at the UCLA National Clinician Scholars Program where she has received NIH support for studies exploring the impact of provider burnout on diabetes care delivery among Latinx older adults in the safety net. Trained as a Licensed Vocational Nurse at the East Los Angeles Occupational Center, she went on to receive her undergraduate degree in Women’s Studies from UCLA, her Master of Science in Nursing at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU), and her doctorate from the School of Nursing at UCLA. She has worked as a clinician and administrator in large, urban hospital systems and as a Subject Matter Expert for technology companies.
Dr. Martinez-Hollingsworth is the creator of Theory Generator Playground (TGP), a Latino/x student research collective that supports early-career nurses by creating/facilitating service and research projects, mentorship activities and college application support. It is her core belief that achieving health equity at the national level hinges on preparing the next generation of nurses from underrepresented minorities (including rural areas and immigrant populations) to meet the needs of a growing and diversifying population.
