How integral is Providence to Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ? Not only does the hospital make up the second half of the namesake UMED District, but the organization is the largest non-government employer in the state, naturally resulting in the employment of a large number of UAA nursing and surgical technology alumni.
While Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ’s skilled hunters may be very aware of ticks on wildlife, news of newly arriving ticks is important to learn. In addition, dog owners and walkers may need to come up to speed. Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ’s warming winters and the broader habitat for ticks in the Lower 48 and Canada may provide a channel for rarer types to get to Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ and survive here. Join us to find out how the research is progressing, what the findings reveal, how you can participate, and how UAA faculty and graduate students are supporting the work.
Angelia Trujillo, associate professor in the School of Nursing, has been awarded the UAA Alumni Humanitarian Award for her outstanding contributions to the field of nursing and to Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ’s communities. Trujillo earned her M.S. in Nursing Science from UAA in 2004, and her B.S. in Nursing Science here in 1997.
Gloria Burnett, director of the Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ Area Health Education Center (AHEC) program, has been selected as president-elect of the National AHEC Organization (NAO).
Kathy Young, interim director of the WWAMI medical education program, has received the Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ Family Physician of the Year Award from the Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ Academy of Family Physicians.
