MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

The best word to describe the 2009 academic year is “remarkable”. It is remarkable that there are major accomplishments to report, despite the financial challenges of a declining economy for the State of North Carolina. Our university took every step to preserve academic integrity during the 7 percent budget reversion. Other than reductions in travel and loss of two positions in the Office of the Dean, we were able to expand our educational programs and student outcomes, and maintain our community outreach efforts locally, nationally and internationally. Our remarkable faculty and staff did not miss a beat, but increased their efforts to make the School of Health Sciences one of the best in the nation. Our successes can be measured by new projects to simulate clinical learning, maintaining excellent program outcomes; adding two new endowed professorships and opening a collaborative Human Movement Laboratory. We were able to expand our simulated learning laboratory with high fidelity simulators to enhance student learning in nursing, occupational therapy and physical therapy. There are now seven of these computerized systems at an estimated value of $2 million. Through our collaborative PEGGY VALENTINE, relationship with Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center (WFUBMC), we were able to house Dean this equipment in their Progressive Care Unit Building until adequate space can be acquired by our School of Health Sciences university. Our physical therapy department was also able to partner with orthopedic surgeons at WFUBMC to establish a motion analysis laboratory. The grand opening of this state-of-the-art facility occurred at the end of the 20082009 academic year, where WSSU provided over $1million in equipment and WFUBMC provided the research space. In preparing the next generation of students for health sciences, we launched CAMP YEHS - Youth Exploring Health Sciences. There were twelve middle school students from the Piedmont Triad who were immersed in a two-week summer residency program. These underrepresented students learned about cardiopulmonary resuscitation, first aid, disaster preparedness and research in the health professions. Program expansion was evident through the planning process to establish the undergraduate program in health care management. Approximately 10 students were accepted to enroll in the charter class for the next academic year. Nursing was able to add two additional distance learning sites for the RN to BSN program. It is amazing how this program has more than tripled in the past several years. Over 200 students are graduating from this program annually. The demand will continue to increase as more hospitals seek to acquire magnet status and baccalaureate prepared nurses are essential. We also submitted two proposals to establish a doctor of physical therapy and a doctor of nursing practice. When approved, these will be the first doctorate programs at the university. We are appreciative of the support of the C.D. Spangler Foundation in funding two endowed professorships in the amount $250,000 each with a state match of another $250,000. These endowed professorships for physical therapy and nursing are critical as we maintain excellence in our educational programs. Excellence in community outreach continues to be an important goal of the school. This was evident through the remarkable services provided by faculty and students. Hundreds of nursing and clinical laboratory students participated in health fairs throughout the city of Winston-Salem, and provided health screening services. Many students volunteered for disaster drills in collaboration with our partner Forsyth Medical Center. Students in all health sciences disciplines attended local conferences and some presented papers with their faculty advisors. In expanding our outreach to the international community, we were fortunate to have on staff Molelekeng Rapolaki, former ambassador from Lesotho to the United States. As diplomat in residence, she conducted seminars on international issues and worked to establish a memorandum of understanding with the National Health Training College in Lesotho. As we end this academic year, we look forward with great anticipation to another remarkable year.

Peggy Valentine, Dean

FINANCIAL REPORTS 2008-2009

2008-2009 REVENUE From the State of North Carolina The School of Health Sciences derives its revenue primarily from state appropriations, granted by the state legislature to the University of North Carolina system. These funds pay faculty salaries and expenses associated with providing classroom instruction. The state appropriation was nearly $800,000 less this year due to budget reductions.

From Grants, Donations and Endowment Income The SOHS is dedicated to research that increases knowledge and improves practice in a range of areas from supporting health needs of grandparents raising grandchildren, to wound management, to diversity among health care professionals, to a new “workplace” connection among countries for those professionals across the globe who provide allied health services. To support research and outreach, and to provide scholarships, SOHS faculty applied for (8) eight federally-funded grants and (6) six additional grants from state-funded sponsors, foundations and businesses to support a variety of activities that increase the professional reputations of our faculty and the preparedness of our graduates. Grants also provided scholarships in 2008-2009 for many of our students. During the academic year there was an increase of $700,000 in grants, primarily from the Health Resources and Services Administration, Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students. Endowment income for the School of Health Sciences accrues from scholarship funds and endowed professorship for nursing and allied health professions from the McMichael Foundation, Bertha Shelton Foundations, Forsyth Medical Center, and most recently, the C.D. Spangler Foundation.

School of Health Sciences ANNUAL REPORT 08-09 29

PROGRESS IN FULFILLING KEY STRATEGIC GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE UNIVERSITY

Goal 1: Academic Excellence

•

•

•

•

•

During January 2009, CLS Department faculty presented four review sessions for December 2008 CLS graduates who are preparing to take the national Medical Technology Certification Examination this quarter. These sessions included practice with taking online tests, and comprehensive review of the major didactic divisions of clinical laboratory science. These sessions are provided at no expense to the student, and should increase the WSSU CLS graduate’s pass rate and scores on the national certification examination. Beginning with Spring 2009, the CLS faculty began an intensive review and evaluation of the current WSSU CLS Baccalaureate Degree Curriculum paradigm. This curriculum review process was initiated to bring the pre-professional and professional CLS courses into agreement with current accreditation guidelines and the needs of the clinical workplace. The goal is to ensure that the CLS curriculum content and clinical experiences provide our students with the desirable learning outcomes of professional competency, leadership skills, and productive service to the medical laboratory community. Dr. George A. Harwell was hired to begin the duties of Department Chair beginning January 2009. Also, Dr. Harwell will serve as the Clinical Chemistry instructor for the Biochemistry Course, Clinical Instrumentation, and aid in the coordination of the Clinical Chemistry Practicums. During the Spring 2009, the relations with the clinical affiliates resulted in new clinical sites as well as in-active sites reactivated. Also, a CLS Recruitment Demonstration and Open House highlighted our students and our student laboratories to the WSSU academic community and to several local middle school students. During the Fall 2008 and Spring 2009, (59) scholarships were awarded to CLS students through the Human Resource and Service Administration (HRSA) Scholarship for Disadvantaged Students (SDS) grant totaling over $445,000. The award assisted students with tuition, fieldwork travel and lodging, textbooks, and some living expenses.

Goal 4: Efficiency, Effectiveness and Resources •

•

•

In the Fall of 2008, Dr. Jeffery Meixner facilitated the purchase of a Cepheid Smartcycler for real time detection of nucleic acid which will be added to the molecular diagnostics laboratory. In April 2009, Dr. George Harwell facilitated the donation of laboratory instructional supplies by a large commercial vendor of laboratory supplies, Infolab, Inc., to the CLS student laboratories that valued over $28,000. This donation represents a strong support of the WSSU CLS program from the professional community, and will greatly aid the students to gain the necessary laboratory skills that are required for professional service. In the Spring of 2009, Dr. Judith Porter facilitated a donation of $8,000 of lab equipment from Immucor, a prominent laboratory supply company. This equipment will allow students to work with modern blood banking equipment and be better prepared to graduate and succeed professionally.

Goal 5: University Culture and Pride •

Students have begun work on original health sciences research projects which are developing their research skills as they contribute to the body of knowledge. Four students are working on a NIH funded ($35,000/year for two years) project entitled “Molecular epidemiology of (Candida) albicans in ethnically diverse groups.”

•

•

Reviewing and revising the undergraduate nursing program to align with new nursing education standards (Baccalaureate Essentials) and 21st century learning outcomes. A Curriculum Task force has been established to facilitate the revision process. Submitted Robert Wood Johnson proposal to provide scholarship funds for accelerated student and to include a mentorship and leadership component in that option. Implemented an end of program survey for the RN-to-BSN option based on nursing education standards and learning outcomes. The survey indicated that students believed they were well prepared for the professional nursing role by faculty. Provided a high fidelity simulation experience for all upper division (pre-licensure) students to incorporate experiential learning into their academic program of study. The simulation experience enhances critical thinking of students and allows them to effectively engage in clinical decision making without concern for patient safety. The RN-BSN option will launch its first on–line course Fall 2010. Currently 4 of the 8 required courses have been completed.

CHALLENGES AND PROJECTED SOLUTIONS Promote an effective and efficient organization •

•

•

A significant challenge for the DON is the expansion of educational facilities. Currently the clinical lab facilities are insufficient to accommodate the student learning needs and the instructional strategies for 21st century nursing education. In addition, there is a need for faculty offices, classrooms and conference space. Classroom furniture and technological equipment is needed. The organization structure of the DON makes it very difficult to effectively and efficiently meet its goals and objectives as an academic department. Based on the university’s structure, the DON has 2 academic units: BSN and MSN. Each academic unit is treated as a separate entity within the university’s academic structure. Thus communication from various units within university goes directly to the BSN and MSN programs (oftentimes bypassing the Office of the Associate Dean who has the responsibility for both programs.) For example, each program works separately with institutional effectiveness, academic affairs, budget, etc. This model, however, is inconsistent with the prevailing model of nursing academic units and accreditation agencies in which nursing is viewed as a single academic unit with various programs. This view is critical to the effective and efficient functioning of nursing as an academic unit with a unified vision, mission and faculty. The University needs to reconsider the current nursing structure. The DON needs to more fully engage alumni and supporters. These groups can play a critical role in retaining and supporting student learning through mentoring programs, scholarships, etc. Alumni and supporters can also pray a critical role in supporting faculty and administrative goals. The DON will undertake this challenge.

Enhance the Quality of All Levels of Human Resources •

•

Equitable distribution of faculty workload remains a challenge. The demands on faculty to use different and more innovative paradigms of teaching and learning, develop programs of research that lead to sustained funding, and contribute significantly to professional, university and community groups is significant. In addition, the demand to enroll and graduate higher number of students to meet growing shortages of health care professionals when a large percentage of the student population lacks a strong academic foundation further strains faculty workloads. Faculty are increasingly making the decision to stay or return to clinical practice where they may be better able to balance work and home. In 2008 - 2009, a task force was formed to examine faculty workload in the DON. This task force continues this work. Enhance the quality of human resources for faculty. Currently, the DON has 11 faculty in doctoral programs. This is almost one-third of the faculty. While we are fortunate to have some support in through Title III and external funds to assist faculty with their doctoral studies, we will continue to have faculty without doctorates. Therefore we need a clinical track that is responsive to the needs of the DON and faculty. As a practice discipline, nursing will always need to have faculty whose primary responsibility is teaching. Even with doctorates, not all faculty will desire to develop research programs and follow the traditional tenure track model. A clinical track that is responsive to the needs of the academic programs will greatly enhance our ability to maintain excellent and committed faculty.

Excellence in Academic Programs •

Nursing at WSSU has a history of excellence in nursing education but it occurs at a tremendous cost, mostly to the faculty. Our RN-BSN option is the largest producer of nurses graduating with the baccalaureate degree in the state. In addition, we frequently receive requests from state, regional and international agencies to establish additional sites. The DON is working to enhance both the infrastructure and the curriculum for this option.

42 School of Health Sciences ANNUAL REPORT 08-09

•

• •

•

Our pre-licensure program has one of the highest NCLEX passing rate in the state; in 2007 we were tied for forth place with UN-CH. However, the cost to faculty to faculty is tremendous. Our faculty spend hours in the classroom and in conference with students and hours in the clinical facilities working with students. Students receive twice the number of tests that are given to students in other nursing programs and significantly more remedial assistance. We need an infrastructure that allows us to maintain excellence and outstanding outcomes without interfering with the faculty’s ability to achieve their professional goals such as tenure and promotion. Included in this would be a retention specialist, an increased number of faculty, and a better staffed student affairs office. The region needs more diverse nurses and advanced practice nurses. The DNP is a needed addition to the DON. According to the American College of Nursing, 40,000 qualified students were not admitted to nursing programs because of programs’ inability to accommodate them. At WSSU, we could accommodate more students than those we actually admit. Thus, having a sufficient pool of qualified students remains a challenge. 2008 - 2009 saw a 15% reduction in the number of applicants to the upper division. 2009 - 2010 saw an additional 10% decline. More resources are needed for recruitment. There might be the opportunity to provide a 5-year undergraduate program. The DON takes seriously the University’s vision to ensure the distinctiveness of its graduates. In line with this, we are pursuing the designation of Center of Excellence, a title awarded by the National League of Nursing. This designation will recognize the university and the DON for its distinctiveness in nursing education.

Enhance Faculty Research Ability •

Many of the faculty members in the DON are very early in their development as scholars/researchers. Many are either still completing doctoral studies or have graduated from one within the past year. Balancing the demands of a heavy teaching load with time for research, and development of skills related to writing articles for publication or successful grant proposals is a very pressing concern. In addition, high workloads for more seasoned faculty make mentoring difficulty. We are hoping that this challenge will be minimized by three important initiatives. We have hired a seasoned faculty scholar as the Bertha L. Shelton Endowed Professor whose primary responsibility is to assist in this area. In addition, the SOHS has developed a mentoring program. Finally, the DON has and will continue to expand its use of outside consultants to assist faculty with their research development.

Provide a Learning Environment that Attracts and Supports a Diverse Group of Students for Success in Preparation for Graduate School, Professions, and Citizenship in a Diverse and Global Knowledge-Based Society We continue to be one of the most diverse programs in the state. However, we must continue to have this as a goal. We have little control over the diversity of students who seek admission and who meet requirements. We can increase that control by making sure that we have a well prepared population of minority students seeking enrollment. This also means we have to move beyond just the mission of educating students to become nurses, to identifying and working with future generations of nurses how are now in elementary, middle and high school. Camp YEHS (Youth Exploring Health Sciences) is assisting us in this area. We also must work more closely with University College to retain more incoming freshmen declaring nursing as a major. • It is not enough to prepare a diverse workforce, we have to ensure that the diverse workforce is able to provide care to a diverse population. That means we have to be intentional in our desire to equip them with the knowledge and skills required to accomplish this. It also means we have to ensure that the graduates leave the DON culturally competent. We are re-examining our curricula at both the BSN and MSN level to ensure that our students are effectively equipped to work in this global society.

PROGRESS IN FULFILLING KEY PRIORITIES Occupational Therapy has experienced a prosperous year beginning with the approval of the new post baccalaureate Cross Cultural Competence for Health-Related Professions certificate program. The 12 credit online certificate is designed to equip allied health and related-health professionals who hold a B.S. degree with cultural competence strategies and skills to effectively serve diverse and multiethnic populations in the healthcare environment. OT graduate students may seek the certificate through optional electives. Under the auspices of the OT Department, Dr. Darlene Perez-Brown will coordinate the certificate program. Dr. Uchenna Vasser for the Department of English and Foreign Language will teach a Basic Spanish for Health Care course. Individuals who elect to take this certificate program may have opportunities to connect with local and international multi-ethnic communities. Continuing to lead the international focus of our program in preparing graduates to compete globally, Dr. Darlene Perez-Brown was instrumental in helping to establish the first Intercultural Fieldwork Practicum course. In the summer of 2009, six OT students and one faculty member traveled to Costa Rica for two-weeks. They were submerged in a practical experience that included orientation to the health care system, participation in clinical and community projects related to client care, Spanish lessons and exposure to the local culture. This international fieldwork affiliation was supported through partnership with Santa Paula University in Costa Rica and is now being offered on an ongoing basis as an elective in the OT Master of Science program. Occupational Therapy and Therapeutic Recreation established an RT/OT undergraduate option that was approved by Academic Standards and Curriculum Committee. Initiated in Fall 2009, this option provides a mechanism for students to meet the prerequisites in preparation for applying to the Master’s of Science in OT program. An additional goal is to attract underrepresented groups of students into the program and discipline.

74 School of Health Sciences ANNUAL REPORT 08-09

Collaborative Partnerships An esteemed partnership has been developed with the Winston-Salem Rescue Mission for Homeless Men, Bethesda Center Homeless Shelter (women and men), and the OT program. Occupational Therapy students and adjunct faculty connected with these facilities both as a service learning experience and as a means of securing psychosocial fieldwork affiliate sites. This is the beginning of a flourishing relationship. Currently, plans are in progress for graduate students under the supervision of a mental health occupational therapy practitioner to provide ongoing programming in life skills training for those living at the shelters. The goal is to support the facilities‘ aims and assist in providing the shelter’s residents with skills necessary for productive community living, and to promote success once they transition into community housing. Featured in the local Winston-Salem Journal newspaper, a recent article highlighted the mutual benefits of such a partnership between the academic program and the community shelter including the receptiveness of the homeless population.

Student Success Sixteen students received the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy degree in summer II. Eighty (80%) were employed as occupation therapist within three months after graduating and successfully passed the national certification examination. Graduate, Angela Chilton received the Janice McGraw Scholarship from the American Occupational Therapy Foundation and was recognized as the Department of Occupational Therapy Nominee for Graduate Student of the Year. Neha Patel received the SOHS Award for Outstanding Student in OT. Several students also attended and presented with faculty at the National Society of Allied Health Conference and the American Occupational Therapy Annual Conference. In the aftermath of an earthquake in Costa Rica, faculty, students, along with the Director of Alumni Relations in the SOHS conducted a successful drive and received donations of school supplies that were delivered to victims of the earthquake.

DEPARTMENTAL VISION The faculty of the WSSU Department of Physical Therapy envisions a program that provides students with the educational and experiential foundation to practice physical therapy in a proactive, competent, ethical, and compassionate manner. Primary values inherent within the curriculum, modeled by the faculty and staff, and developed within the students, include integrity, dedication, responsibility, leadership, accountability, wisdom, commitment to personal and professional growth, and willingness to serve a diverse society. Faculty members are committed to guiding students to acquire the competencies and knowledge necessary to enter, succeed, and excel in a highly competitive and constantly changing health-care system. The curriculum will coincide with the program, school and university missions, yet project the vision of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) to support physical therapy as a doctoring profession.

82 School of Health Sciences ANNUAL REPORT 08-09

MISSION The Department of Physical Therapy serves the people of North Carolina and the nation by providing an entry-level masters degree program in Physical Therapy (MPT). The Department is committed to providing an integrative education program that is well-grounded in the basic, social and clinical sciences in order to produce competent and compassionate clinicians who are skilled in the areas of critical thinking and inquiry, clinical problem-solving, treatment delivery, research, education and management. The MPT degree will prepare graduates to deliver both primary and interdisciplinary health care to diverse populations within a variety of practice settings and health-care delivery systems. In keeping with the mission of WSSU, the Department of Physical Therapy will develop practitioners who engender the values of social and professional responsibility, leadership, integrity and scholarship, as well as life-long personal and professional development.

Goal 1: Academic Excellence The Department of Physical Therapy had an outstanding year characterized by a number of historical achievements. A senior faculty member in the department, Dr. Glenna Batson, was selected as a Fulbright Senior Specialist. She is only the second faculty member in the history of the university to achieve this status. Dr. Batson served as an instructor in residence and an expert in dance and movement at the Labon Institute of Dance in the United Kingdom during the Spring of 2009. Mr. Alex Stovall, a graduate student who is a member of the 2009 graduating cohort, was selected as the first Albert Schweitzer Fellow for Winston Salem State University. He is one of three graduate physical therapy students ever selected in North Carolina for this prestigious award. The Department also opened the first collaborative teaching and research laboratory to be shared with Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Dr. Conner-Kerr received the Thurgood Marshall College Fund Award for Outstanding Leadership in Public relations for her work on bringing national attention to the WSSU Physical Therapy Program in concert with her PT colleagues. The department was featured in the PT Magazine along with a PT department faculty member, Dr. Gina Bivins, a recognized for its innovative teaching approach with human patient simulators. The recently opened collaborative WFU/WSSU Human Movement and Biodynamics Laboratory was featured in 6 national publications including Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated and the program presented the first pre-conference course on patient simulation to over 60 PT colleagues representing PT programs from around the nation at the 2009 American Physical Therapy Association, Combined Sections meeting. Recently, the program’s proposal to establish a Special Interest Group in the APTA to support education on Human Patient Simulation was approved for formal presentation and development. The Department also hosted its first national symposium in New Orleans at the New Cardiovascular Horizons Conference. The symposia entitled, “Contemporary Practices in Wound Management for Physical Therapists” was co-chaired by Dr. Teresa Connner-Kerr. The WFU/WSSU Human Movement and Biodynamics Laboratory brings together nationally and internationally known experts from the fields of physical therapy, human movement science, medicine and engineering in an endeavor that will provide cutting edge learning experiences for graduate physical therapy, bioengineering and medical students along with providing a platform to seek extramural funding and corporate partnerships. This laboratory under the co-direction of Dr. Judy Foxworth from WSSU and Dr. Martin Taneka from WFU represents the commitment to regional partnership and the potential for obtaining breakthrough discoveries in chronic disease management that afflicts minority population at particularly high rates. Collaborative projects in this lab have grown rapidly to include researchers from the Art Department at WSSU and the Engineering Program at Virginia Polytechnical Institute. Mr. Ben Long has been instrumental in coordinating these projects including a project that is underway to determine potential mediators of joint injury for working army dogs. In addition, NIH grant applications are being developed to support further research activity in the lab. The opening of the laboratory was covered by 4 local TV stations and multiple periodicals. An announcement of the opening was also advertised in (6) six national magazines including Newsweek, Time and Sports Illustrated as stated above.

Another historic development for the department was the opening of the first free Physical Therapy Community Clinic. This clinic is under the very capable direction of Dr. Hamdy Radwan and the student clinical manager, Mr. Alex Stovall. Mr. Stovall’s Albert Schweitzer Fellowship is supporting his project to bring accessible rehabilitation services to 17,000 underserved persons from east Winston that has incomes 200% below the federally defined poverty level. Under Dr. Radwan’s leadership and through efforts by Dr. Conner-Kerr and Sharon Prybylo to secure the contract for this partnership with the largest free community clinic in the state, The Community Care Center of Walkertown, has expanded its services to include a full-service physical therapy clinic. The clinic through the E-Care, We-Care program directed by Dr. Hamdy Radwan and in collaboration with faculty in Nursing and OT is also providing much needed health education for the community through an electronic portal to the National Library of Medicine. Several computer stations have been provided to the clinic and these assist both patients and health care providers in researching treatments and symptoms of many chronic diseases. The clinic’s activities and the work of the two directors with their fellow colleagues and students have been featured in the Winston-Salem Journal. The Journal continued to follow the accomplishments of the clinic with the development of a human interest article. An additional first for the department was the selection of 4 graduates students, 3 from the department of Physical Therapy and one from A&T University for the prestigious Wound Healing Society Young Investigator’s Award. Alex Stovall, Tracy Vernon and Devin Winter from the Masters of Physical Therapy Program and Geleana Drew Alston from A&T University (previously lab manager in the Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences) received this award at the Symposium on Advanced Wound care and Wound Healing Society meeting for their work on a novel technology to treat antibiotic resistant wound pathogens. Under the direction of Dr. Conner-Kerr, the department and SOHS were also successful in obtaining more than $690,000 in funding for the development of a virtual hospital and virtual patient software through the Title III and HRSA. This funding is being used to purchase human simulators and virtual software that will link the health science programs (PT, OT, Nursing and CLS) to community and regional experts who can assist with guided teaching experiences through a virtual network. This initiative has the potential to address critical issues of acute care clinical internship access for health science students on our campus and those in the community college system. It also provides a mechanism to interlink health facilities for continuing competency training and issues related to emergency preparedness as these types of scenarios can be simulated for a regional response. Virtual software that will be developed in the coming year will allow students and faculty to guide “clinician and patient avatars” in a virtual health system as students learn to make complex clinical decisions. All of these technologies support a cutting-edge education platform that is only seen in a small number of top-ranked medical schools in the nation. Establishment of this virtual teaching approach and collaboration with the newly established Center for Applied Learning at WFUBMC will provide an unprecedented access to educational technology for WSSU students, faculty and regional clinicians. This partnership will also provide a means to generate funds through hosting continuing education programs, continuing competency programs for health care professionals and corporate product training and marketing seminars. Additional funding is pending from the Federal Initiative program. The Clinical Education program continues to grow in Physical Therapy with the Director of Clinical Education receiving numerous invitations to teach clinical education credentialing workshops sanctioned by the APTA. Dr. Prybylo directed workshops for clinical partners throughout the region including Novant Health Systems. She collaborated with the PTA Program in the Mountain District to deliver a workshop that was attended by PT Clinical instructors from throughout the region. Dr. Prybylo in collaboration with Ms. Sophia Bamby, program coordinator for clinical education, offered a hugely successful career fair with exhibitors from over 35 regional and national health care companies. This career fair has become one of the most successful in the state for PT students and is well attended each year. It brings excellent attention to the program and provides networking opportunities for the students and the clinical education director.

The department continues to be successful in obtaining educational grant monies to support students with minority and disadvantaged backgrounds. The department received over $140,000 from HRSA to fund more than 50 graduate students in the program in physical therapy. Dr. Cowie has been successful in securing these grants for five years with almost a million dollars in funds secured. These funds are instrumental in supporting the education of physical therapy graduate students. Dr. Gina Bivins and Ms. Kisha Patterson, departmental administrative assistant, have been instrumental in coordinating the admission process. Through their leadership, over 87 applicants were processed in the admission process with the seating of the largest cohort in the history of the program. Thirty four seats have been offered to date with the cohort having the highest GRE scores in program history. Ms. Patterson and Dr. Bivins coordinated more than (8) eight open houses and processed hundreds of emails from potential applicants. Ms. Patterson was also instrumental in designing and scheduling the orientation program for the incoming cohort of 2009. She coordinated presenters and services from (2) two campuses and ensured a seamless program. The Physical Therapy program was also awarded the first endowed chair in the program’s history. Dr. Conner-Kerr and Dean Peggy Valentine secured $250,000 from the CD Spangler Foundation and $250,000 in matching funds from the state to create the first PT endowed chair supported by the CD Spangler Fund. This endowed chair once fully funded will provide an opportunity to hire a nationally or internationally known scholar who will assist with further development of the research platform of the department. This position is a seminal addition to the faculty as the program pursues offering the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT). The DPT degree proposal while approved by the campus administrators and graduate faculty remains at the UNC General Administration Office. At this point in time, only 5% of PT programs remain at the Masters level and the Commission on Accreditation has begun the process of phasing out the eligibility of MPT program graduates to sit for the national licensure boards. No MPT programs will be allowed to maintain accreditation status once the phase out is complete. Given the many and significant accomplishments of the program, the program’s transition to the DPT should be supported and approved based on the many quality indicators of the program and the important role that it plays in educating minority providers and opening access to the underserved populations of the Triad and beyond. Summary of Faculty Accomplishments: • The Department simulation team faculty (Sharon Prybylo, Teresa Conner-Kerr, Gina Bivins, Jayne Caruso, Nancy Smith and Rita Darby from Nursing) hosted and presented a successful program on the use of Human Patient Simulators at the Combined Sections meeting of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). The Department has been granted permission to plan the first human patient simulation special interest group (SIG) in the association and will host the first meeting of the proposed SIG in February 2010 in San Diego at the APTA Combined Sections meeting. • Departmental faculty presented 20 national and international presentations. • Faculty served on the board of 1 international and 3 national associations. • Faculty submitted 2 book chapters and 1 book prospectus. • Faculty served as grant reviewers and journal reviewers for more than 5 societies. • Faculty hosted 1 national conference and 1 national pre-conference program. • Faculty submitted over 6 extramural grants. • Dr. Sharon Prybylo served as an American Physical Therapy Clinical Education Certified Trainer and presented 6 regional Clinical Instructor Credentialing workshops to clinicians in both North Carolina and Virginia. • Dr. Judy Foxworth was accepted from a national field of candidates to attend the Enhancing Rehabilitation Research in the South (ERRIS) workshop to be held at the Kluge Rehabilitation Center and Research Institute. • Dr. Glenna Batson was awarded one of 10 RIP grants for 2009 - 2010. • Dr. Conner-Kerr was awarded a Title III grant for $252,000 and a Federal Initiative Grant for $188,100 to establish a virtual health care learning environment.

Goal 2: Student Success (Retention Graduation Rates & Student Experience) •

• • •

•

The Department of Physical Therapy continues to rapidly expand with a 533% increase in student enrollment since the establishment of the Masters Program in 2000. The department has enjoyed a 28% increase in enrollment since 2006 and remains the primary educator of minority physical therapists in the state with an average minority enrollment of some 4 times the national average. The overall pass rate on the national licensure examination is over 94.55% for the past three graduating cohorts on a doctoral level exam. The Physical Therapy program has a mean retention rate of 95% for existing cohorts with a retention rate for African American males in the present two cohorts of 100%. A graduate student in the Department, Mr. Alex Stovall, was among the first physical therapy students in the state to be selected as an Albert Schweitzer Fellow. His Fellowship supported the development and implementation of a Physical Therapy student-run Clinic under faculty supervision by Dr. Hamdy Radwan. This clinic has provided over $30,000 in free rehabilitation services to the East Winston Community in the past year with a waiting list of those seeking service of approximately 7 months. Three graduate students in the Department (Alex Stovall, Tracy Vernon, and Devin Winter) were awarded the prestigious Young Investigator’s Award by the Wound Healing Society in April 2009 for their work entitled, “Low frequency ultrasound (35 KHz) reduces prokaryotic and eukaryotic growth, alters cell wall structure and colonial characteristics in vitro.” Ms. Drew Alston, a past faculty member in the Department of Clinical Laboratory Science and graduate student, also shared the award.

Goal 3: Community Engagement •

•

•

Dr. Teresa Conner-Kerr received a Title III grant for $252,900 and a Federal initiative grant for $188,100 for a project increasing access to health provider education and to creating a virtual health community to support educational activities for the students in the School of Health Sciences and health care providers in the Triad Region. The Physical Therapy Department and the Department of Surgical Sciences of WFU-BMC have completed construction of a collaborative human movement lab, named the “Human Performance and Biodynamics Laboratory” - a 2,000 square-foot facility with state-of-the-art motion capture, balance assessment, pressure mapping and electromyography technology. The ribbon cutting ceremony occurred on Tuesday, June 2, 2009 with Chancellor Reeves and Dr. McConnell officiating. The Physical Therapy Department has partnered with the Community Care Center of Walkertown to provide educational opportunities for Physical Therapy graduate students in community-based care and to provide access to physical therapy services to individuals with no health care insurance. The Department also offered a summer exercise class for individuals with diabetes in collaboration with the diabetes education and expanded their summer clinic services to two days per week.

Goal 4: Efficiency, Effectiveness and Resources • • •

Offered a coaching and information session for applicants who did not meet admission criteria for the 2009 cohort. Updated the Physical Therapy Student Handbook for the entering cohort of 2009 and published the handbook in an electronic format. Expanded the number of Open Houses to increase applicant access to program information.

Goal 5: University Culture and Pride • •
