Maria Moffa joins FDU’s Henry P. Becton College of Nursing and Allied Health
Maria Moffa joined the Henry P. Becton College of Nursing and Allied Health as a clinical assistant professor of nursing and director of transition to practice and Epic training programs. After a long career as a healthcare executive, Moffa joined FDU because she felt that it was time to return to her roots in academia. “I chose FDU because of its strong emphasis on Humanics in healthcare, which aligns closely with my commitment to educating future professionals who combine clinical excellence with compassion and ethical leadership,” she said.
FDU: What excites you most about your field?
Maria Moffa: I thrive on the challenges of academia, especially when they intersect with the innovation of implementing and teaching Epic electronic medical record system. Working at the crossroads of technology, education and healthcare energizes me. I especially love engaging with students and faculty who push me intellectually and compel me to expand my thinking.
FDU: What bucket list item do you most want to check off this year?
MM: I would like to create a podcast discussing how we can remain kind and compassionate while treating each other with dignity and respect no matter our position in life.
FDU: What’s your favorite way to decompress after a long day of work?
