His research interests focus on improving access to healthcare for patients with chronic illnesses, particularly end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), in low-resource settings such as Ghana.

In addition to teaching, he has taken on key administrative roles, including Access Course Coordinator and Registration/Examination Officer, and actively mentors undergraduate students in research and evidence-based nursing practice.

Milipaak has received advanced training in mixed-method research, research ethics (TCPS 2: CORE), systematic reviews (JBI), and knowledge mobilization. His team has contributed to international nursing dialogue, including a presentation at the 2023 ICN Congress in Montreal. He is also scheduled to present his work at the 2025 ICN Congress in Helsinki on the social and healthcare service needs of patients undergoing hemodialysis in Ghana.
