Martha Nicholson received an undergraduate degree from Brown University, and an MD from the University of California, Davis. She went on to a residency in general pediatrics at UC Davis and then moved to San Francisco to do a fellowship in Pediatric Cardiology at the University of California at San Francisco. After finishing my fellowship I worked for two pharmaceutical companies conducting clinical research in heart failure, hypertension and intermittent claudication. I am currently employed at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation in the Betty Irene Moore Nursing Initiative, which gives grants to health care organizations who are trying to improve patient safety and patient outcomes in adult acute inpatient settings.
