Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

Allied Health Education Summit, May 19 & 20

I just saw the following announcement. I thought I'd share it in case others know about the HPN and would like to share what they know. I must admit that I wasn't familiar with HPN -- but it would seem RTs should be involved.

Please comment if you know about HPN. Here is the announcement:

A summit meeting sponsored by the Health Professions Network (HPN), "Educating the Allied Health Workforce of the 21st Century," will be held May 19-20, 2010 in Chicago.

With the impending surge of baby boomers turning 65 and changes in the US health care system, it is critical to ensure an adequate supply of trained health professionals.

At the summit, allied health program directors, administrators, school officials, and others involved in educating allied health professionals will join together to discuss common issues and identify best practices in allied health education.

Watch the HPN Website for summit details.
