Daphne Weeks

About

Dr. Daphne Weeks has been in professional nursing for 9 years. Her experience as a registered nurse is broad as she has experience in acute care settings on progressive care and intermediate intensive care units focusing on physical trauma, orthopedic and neurological care. She also spent time in crisis stabilization units along with inpatient psychiatric units. Becoming a nurse practitioner led her into the community with a focus on severe and persistent mental illness—mainly schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. Dr. Weeks is a full-time professor here at Regis College and when feasible, she continues to dedicate time to an Assertive Community Treatment team.

Dr. Weeks collaborates with companies such as Johnson and Johnson to help educate clinicians while also acting as a key opinion leader for necessary research related to schizophrenia. She is a mentor and advocate for at-risk youths seeking a profession in nursing. She remains dedicated to educating students that seek ways to implement research into practice.
