Bio
Kathy Rideout, EdD, PPCNP-BC, FNAP, professor of clinical nursing and pediatrics and dean emerita, has served the University of Rochester School of Nursing community for more than 35 years as a nurse practitioner, teacher, scholar, and administrator. She was installed as dean of the School of Nursing in 2012 and was named a vice president at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) in 2013. During her decade as dean, Rideout sparked a period of growth and renewed prominence across the three missions of the school: education, research, and practice. She was a strong advocate for more diversity and inclusion at the University and in the nursing profession, while continuing to practice clinically as a pediatric advanced practice nurse at Golisano Children’s Hospital. In 2016, Rideout was honored for her commitment to issues of diversity with a UR Presidential Diversity Award.
Among the major accomplishments of Rideout's tenure:
- the creation and expansion of the UR Medicine Center for Employee Wellness
- consistently ranked in the top 25 in research funding from the National Institutes of Health
- consistently ranked among the top 30 master's programs, according to U.S. News & World Report
- development of groundbreaking diversity initiatives that led the school to be recognized as a five-time winner of the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award
- $15 million vertical expansion of Helen Wood Hall
A native of Pittsburgh, Rideout began work as an advanced pediatric nurse at Strong and joined the School of Nursing faculty in 1986. She earned her doctorate from the Warner School of Education and Human Development in 1995. She completed her ostomy nurse specialty education program in 2000.
