Lisa Semple received her Bachelor of Nursing at the University of Calgary in 1986 and began her career as a staff nurse the Alberta Children's Hospital caring primarily for hospitalized children with cystic fibrosis, asthma and diabetes. She developed a special interest in the needs of children with complex chronic illness and the family experience. This led to the focus of her graduate studies.
For several years Lisa Semple worked in the Cystic Fibrosis Clinic at ACH and considers this a highlight of her career. During that time, she participated in the development of the first newborn screening program for cystic fibrosis in Canada. Lisa joined the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Mount Royal University in 2009 and teaches nursing fundamentals and child health.
