Catherine Lynch Gilliss, PhD, RN, FAAN, is the Helene Fuld Health Trust Professor of Nursing at the Duke University School of Nursing and holds the rank of Professor in the Department of Community and Family Medicine. Appointed as Dean of the Duke University School of Nursing in 2004, Dr. Gilliss was the first alumna in the history of the School to hold that position.
