More than that, he is a master researcher, educator, and practitioner. He is an expert in health care worker fatigue, and was selected to be the U.S. representative on an international committee working to develop guidelines for pressure ulcer prevention. Magnan spends hours keeping up with the latest research findings while simultaneously collaborating with nurses, academics, and administrators across disciplines to conduct his own studies. He has published more than 100 manuscripts. Magnan has provided the necessary support through an established foundation at Karmanos to transform the education and research process; as a result, nurses are independently beginning projects of their own.
