Dr. Mamatha Shivananda Pai

I am actively involved in planning and delivering undergraduate and postgraduate teaching that focuses on holistic, family-centered child care using outcome-based and evidence-based approaches. I contribute to the development and revision of pediatric nursing curriculum, ensuring alignment with current child health priorities, clinical guidelines, and advancements in neonatal and pediatric care. I design and implement student assessments, including scenario-based and clinical evaluations, to enhance critical thinking and pediatric clinical competence.

I supervise and mentor students during pediatric and neonatal clinical postings, fostering safe practice, ethical care, and effective clinical decision-making. I am actively engaged in pediatric research - qualitative and mixed methods research including guiding student dissertations of PhD , PG and UG, conducting studies, and publishing in peer-reviewed journals to strengthen evidence-based pediatric nursing practice. Additionally, I participate in academic administration, quality assurance activities, and community child health programs while integrating innovative teaching technologies in pediatric nursing education.
