Susan V. Brammer

Dr. Susan Brammer has been a psychiatric-mental health nurse for over 40 years, including 25 years in nursing education.  Her clinical experience included both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings.  Dr. Brammer is a Certified Nurse Educator and has taught ADN, BSN, MSN, Post-MSN, and DNP students. A published author, she has also presented to national and international audiences on experiences of persons with mental illnesses. As Principal Investigator, she has received over $2 million from the Ohio Department of Medicaid for the Medicaid Equity Simulation Project. As Project Director, Dr. Brammer was awarded the Dean’s Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Grant to develop and test a telehealth simulation for post-master’s psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner students. Dr. Brammer has provided extensive service to the University of Cincinnati through committee work at the University, College, and Department levels.  She is active at both the national and state level of American Psychiatric Nurses Association. She has served for over a decade for the Southwest Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, including a term as Board president and current Advisory Council chairperson.  Dr. Brammer received the 2019 March of Dimes Nurse of the Year Award Ohio in Mental and Behavioral Health and was inducted as a Fellow into the American Academy of Nursing in 2022.

PhD: University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, OH, 2000 (Nursing)

Two broad areas of research interest are social determinants of health and psychiatric-mental health nursing education. One specific interest is how virtual reality simulation can be used to impact attitudes and behavior related to underserved populations, social determinants of health, and/or cultural biases. I would also like to further explore telemental health simulation in nursing education.
