Meet Maithe Enriquez
Biography
Dr. Enriquez is a nurse practitioner and researcher. She strives to maintain a program of research and a clinical practice that will make a significant positive impact on the lives of people who are living with or are at risk for chronic health conditions. As an adult nurse practitioner, she has devoted her clinical career to caring for vulnerable adult populations. The problems she saw in her clinical practice led her to pursue the PhD to conduct research focused on enhancing chronic disease health outcomes, particularly among people who were failing HIV treatment due to non-adherence. Dr. Enriquez has conducted successful funded studies with underserved, vulnerable populations. Her research focuses on developing practical interventions that can help individuals and communities improve their health outcomes. She has expertise in community-based participatory research (CBPR) and the development of strong academic-community research partnerships. She maintains a clinical practice caring for adults living with HIV disease and its associated co-morbid conditions.
