Elizabeth Marlow, PHD, C-FNP

Dr. Marlow has been adjunct faculty in USF's School of Nursing and Health Professions since 2013. She received her Masters of Science in Nursing from Yale University in 1996 and her PhD in Nursing from UCSF in 2008. In 2010, she completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the UCLA School of Nursing, and her research is grounded in community-based participatory research (CBPR). In 2009 she co-founded and nurtured The Gamble Institute, a CBPR non-profit with a mission to serve formerly incarcerated adults and their families. In 2015, community members assumed leadership of The Gamble Institute, a primary goal of CBPR work. The Gamble Institute's flagship program, Street Scholars Peer Mentoring, is now the model program for all California Community Colleges serving formerly incarcerated students. Members of Street Scholars and The Gamble Institute Leadership Team guest lecture every year in USF's MPH program. Intellectually, Dr. Marlow leans towards Hans-Georg Gadamer, Michel Foucault, Paolo Freire, and bell hooks.

Dr. Marlow is also a nurse practitioner at the San Francisco County Jail. In this role she provides medical services and works to integrate the principles of CBPR, such as power-sharing and co-learning, in the care she provides to the men and women incarcerated there. Her clinical interests include addiction medicine, care of transgendered adults, and chronic disease management.
