Dr. Marion E. Broome began her leadership role as university dean of the Indiana University School of Nursing (IUSON) on July 1, 2004. In addition, Broome is a professor in the school's Department of Family Health Nursing. In April 2006, she was awarded the rank of Distinguished Professor by the Indiana University President. Widely regarded as an expert, scholar, and leader in pediatric nursing research and practice, Dr. Broome has been externally funded by the American Cancer Society, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as well as private foundations over the past two decades to conduct research in which she developed and tested interventions designed to assist children to cope with acute and chronic pain. Her recent research has extended into research ethics related to informed consent and assent for children in research, and research misconduct in clinical trials. Her research is published in over 72 papers in 50 refereed nursing, medicine, and interdisciplinary journals. She also has published five books and 13 chapters in books as well as in several consumer publications.

In 1997, Broome was appointed to a four-year term as a member of the Nursing Science Study Section at the NIH. In June 2004, she was appointed as a charter member of the new Nursing Science Study Section: Children and Families. Broome also has served as president of the Society for Pediatric Nurses, and has been on the boards of the Association for the Care of Children's Health and the Midwest Nursing Research Society. Currently, she is serving as editor-in-chief of Nursing Outlook, the official journal of the American Academy of Nursing (AAN) and is a fellow of the AAN. She serves as a consultant to several children's hospitals.
