DeSimone is a graduate of one of the first nurse practitioner programs at
the State University of New York @ Stony Brook in 1981. Her clinical
training was at Long Island Jewish Hospital in New Hyde Park NY and at the
University Medical Center at Stony Brook. Upon graduation, she continued
her training in endocrinology in her role as research coordinator and
nurse practitioner for the Osteoporosis Trials at the Brookhaven National
Laboratory and Winthrop University Hospital in New York. In the early
1980s Elayne also became certified as a physician assistant in New York
State. She completed doctoral studies in nursing research and theory
development at Adelphi University where she researched the effects of

practice for advanced practice clinicians and the development of evidence
based complementary care protocols.
