Petrofsky teaches in the UCSF Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Program and mentors nurse practitioner students in the hospital.

She is a member of the Oncology Nursing Society, American Association of Nurse Practitioners, and Advanced Practitioner Society for Hematology and Oncology.

In Malawi, she volunteered at the Friends of Mulanje Orphans clinic, and she taught basic first aid and nutrition to secondary school orphans who were caring for younger siblings. In Tanzania, she taught doctors at Shirati KMT Hospital and nursing students at the Shirati College of Health Sciences. Her time in Shirati – where cancer care options are limited to surgery and palliative care – taught her to appreciate things often taken for granted in the United States, such as clean drinking water, plumbing systems, electricity and pain medications stronger than acetaminophen.
Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 4 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
