Scout Hebinck

Scout Hebinck has been an adjunct professor in the School of Nursing and Health Professions at the University of San Francisco for the past 10 years.

While Scout developed a keen interest in educating nurses throughout her career, she saw the importance of empowering them to understand their direct effect on patient outcomes. 

Her key areas of work and research focus on professional development, quality improvement, and global health.
