About Rev. Dr. Claretta Dupree
Healing & Harmony
My intention is to be among those generating healing and harmony on the planet and to walk with others who desire to do the same.
Greetings, Beloved.
Rev. Dr. Claretta Y. Dupree is a registered nurse with a wide variety of clinical and academic experiences in both the civilian and military sectors. She graduated in 1975 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Tennessee Center for the Health Sciences in Memphis. Her naval career began soon after with a direct commission, followed by Officers’ Indoctrination School at Newport, RI. She served on active duty at naval hospitals in Philadelphia and Great Lakes from 1976-1979, and at the Naval Hospital Corps School at Great Lakes from 1989-1993. From 1984-1989, she served in reserve units in Houston, TX and New Orleans, LA, and in Milwaukee, WI from 1993-2005.
As a civilian, Dr. Dupree earned a Master of Science in Oncology Nursing from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in 1985 and completed a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Nursing with a minor in Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee in May 1998. She became a collegiate educator in 1984, teaching at Texas Woman’s University until 1986, followed by an appointment at Charity Hospital School of Nursing until 1989. In 1989, she was recalled to active duty, and taught at Naval Hospital Corps School in Great Lakes, IL until 1993. While there, she was Head of the Staff Education, and Training Division. She held a nominated membership in Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, was founder of the Race And Culture/Ethnicity Affinity Group of the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities and is past chairperson of The Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity Academy of Fellows. She served as an ethicist for the Data Safety Monitoring Board of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (asthma/allergy section) from 2010-August 2022. In 2006, the African Methodist Episcopal Church licensed Dr. Dupree as minister.
Dr. Dupree was previously an assistant professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where she was the Director of Research in the Pediatric Palliative Care Department. She is a past participant in the Harvard Medical School Palliative Care Faculty Development Program. In addition to advance directives and cultural diversity issues in ethics, her current research interests are hope, ambiguity in ethical decision-makers, spirituality in terminally ill children, and moral distress among pediatric intensive care staff.
She is keeping busy in retirement, operating an editing business, and learning to crochet. She combined the study of sacred geometry with crocheting resulting in many hexagon afghans. Dr. Dupree has completed Quantum-Touch Energy Healing coursework and Sacred Oil Alchemy certification coursework, the latter as a part of acknowledging her myrrhophore nature. She enjoys playing musical instruments, reading, and growing plants from seed and is blessed to be sharing this physical experience with 10 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Rev. Dr. Dupree calls both Greensboro, NC, and Kenosha, WI home.
