Sreypeov Tun
Sreypeov is the head of the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery at the University of Puthisastra where she leads a team to provide quality nursing education at the associate and bachelor degree levels.
Originally trained as a clinical nurse, she currently is involved in revising the national curriculum for nursing, particularly updating the content of courses on human pathology and nursing skills.
She also works with a private company to educate stakeholders about proper nutrition for different age groups. In her earlier work with an international organization, Sreypeov managed an “Electronic Medical Library” project, which developed a database and trained users to find information to improve their clinical practices.
The library continues to operate, through a public hospital, and new generations of doctors, nurses, and students continue to benefit from its resources.
She is deeply interested in promoting women’s health and care for the elderly, and she also wants to increase global warming awareness among health care workers. Sreypeov hopes her EI fellowship will help her clarify a path toward her goal of establishing a retirement center to take care of chronic patients and the elderly whose children have migrated to other countries, as well as strengthen her leadership skills.
