I am Major Kathryn “Katie” Capple, Air Force, and I am a PhD Candidate at the Uniformed Services University in the Graduate School of Nursing. I graduated with my BSN from Kent State University in 2013. Following graduation, I entered the United States Air Force as a staff nurse on an orthopedic surgical floor. In addition, I have worked as a medical surgical nurse, an Executive Officer, and a Senior Health Care Integrator. With a Master’s in Public Health, my expertise and interests lie in population health, health promotion, and chronic disease prevention and management. Since pursuing my PhD, I have specialized in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) induced post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My dissertation research is focused on exploring the effects of alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, on mTBI-induced PTSD in women.
