Dr. Leilanie E. Martin is a dedicated healthcare professional, educator, and leader who currently serves as the Graduate Director for the Family Nurse Practitioner program at Long Island University Brooklyn Campus. In addition to her role as Graduate Director, Dr. Martin is an Assistant Professor in the graduate program, where she is committed to preparing the next generation of nurse practitioners through her wide-ranging expertise and dedication to student success. She also holds the position of Vice President for the Omega Nu Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau, the National Nursing Honor Society. 

Dr. Martin’s academic journey began with her Doctor of Nursing Practice in Healthcare Systems Leadership from Chamberlain University. She also completed a prestigious critical care fellowship at Northshore University Hospital, which laid the foundation for her extensive career in healthcare. Her experience spans critical care in cardiothoracic ICU, neurology, infusion therapy, aesthetics, communicable diseases, and primary care. 

A respected leader in healthcare, Dr. Martin has served on multiple public health teams, including several COVID-19 response teams at the height of the pandemic and an Mpox surge team. She continues to partner with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to investigate and manage communicable diseases in the city. 

In addition to her clinical and academic roles, Dr. Martin has also demonstrated entrepreneurial success by owning and operating several nurse practitioner-run businesses. Her work in these ventures has further fueled her passion for supporting nurse entrepreneurs and advancing the role of advanced practice nurses in the healthcare system. 

As an educator, Dr. Martin is deeply committed to fostering diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging within healthcare. Certified as a trainer by Cook Ross, she actively works to promote these values in both her teaching and leadership. Her global outlook on healthcare is reflected in her volunteer work as an adjunct professor with the University of Haiti in Port-au-Prince, and her studies in Portuguese medical terminology during her undergraduate work in Lisbon, Portugal. 

Dr. Martin’s extensive experience, both as a clinician and an educator, makes her well-suited to lead and shape the Family Nurse Practitioner program. She is passionate about developing the next generation of nurse practitioners who will continue to elevate the field and expand access to quality healthcare.
