Kristin E. Barber, NP, graduated magna cum laude with a master's of nursing degree from the University of Utah in 2009. She was inducted
into the Sigma Theta Tau honors society. She received her bachelors of science in nursing cum laude from the University of Colorado
Health Sciences Center in 2003. She is board certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner and certified as an Advanced Oncology Certified
Nurse Practitioner (AOCNP) since 2009. She is proud to be both an ongoing member of the Oncology Nursing Society since 2004 and
previously sat on the committee of our local ONS chapter in Utah, Intermountain Chapter of Oncology Nurses (ICONS). She has over 15
years of experience taking care of oncology patients in both solid tumors and hematologic cancers. She currently focuses in GI oncology.
Kristin is a sub investigator on multiple clinical trials. Since her focus is in GI cancers it is important to incorporate clinical trials to advance
our knowledge and treatment of these patients and improve upon their outcomes.
Kristin has served on multiple speakers bureau's focusing on education of other oncology nurses in the treatment and management of
certain cancers including lung, multiple myeloma, breast and lynch positive cancers. She loves to speak and learn amongst her colleagues
and regularly attends national conferences keeping up to date in current literature and practices.
Kristin loves both taking care of patients and spending time outdoors. She is always ready to help and when she is not at Huntsman you
can find her on the ski slopes or out on her mountain bike. Originally from Chicago, she moved to the mountains of Utah in 2005 to spend
time outside and could not have picked a more perfect place.
