Dr. Celina Carter received her PhD from the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto (UofT). In her doctoral work, she investigated how decline, dying, and death is discussed (or not discussed) in primary care settings and how nurses can become more involved in this practice. Celina is currently working as a Research Scientist and Nurse Psychotherapist focused on integrating contemplative practices into palliative care. Celina pursues critical qualitative research and is interested in using arts-based participatory research to support nurses to become leaders in end-of-life conversations. Celina is also an instructor at U of T teaching mindfulness-informed EOL care.
