Dr. Thomopson Bio:
Dr. Thompson is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and a Board Certified Nutrition Support Clinician (CNSC). Before she began teaching in the Department of Nutrition and Health Care Management at Appalachian State University (ASU), she worked in a critical access hospital. Her clinical experiences provided an impetus for her interest in rural health care, with a focus on the ways rurality impacts the nutrition status of rural patients.
Dr. Thompson’s passion for rural health care grew when she relocated to the beautiful Appalachian Mountains and began participating in rural health research. During her career at ASU, her accomplishments have included the following:

Director of Appalachian State University’s Graduate Programs in Public Health Nutrition (Certificate and MS in Nutrition)
Participation in research on providing effective nutrition care to rural populations
Participation in research focused on public health nutrition, including food pantry capabilities and operations
Peer-reviewed publications and other professional writing, including associate editorship of the 2020 text, Public Health Nutrition (Springer Publishers)
Presentation of rural-focused research at national conferences
Teaching in the Department of Nutrition and Healthcare Management, including graduate courses in rural health, life cycle nutrition, and public health nutrition education

Dr. Thompson has strong professional interests in both public health nutrition and clinical nutrition.
Dr. Thompson enjoys facilitating learning opportunities for students within the graduate nutrition program. She is passionate about mentoring and guiding emerging nutrition professionals. It is her hope that all of her students will gain an appreciation of the complexities involved in delivering health care to rural populations, and that some of her students will find purpose and passion in building careers in rural health settings.
