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 in September

I recently received the message below from the American Medical Association (AMA)Health Care Careers e-Letter:

"Building the Allied Health Workforce of the 21st Century," a summit meeting sponsored by the Health Professions Network (HPN), will be held September 22-23 in Chicago at the Hilton O’Hare. http://enews.ama-assn.org/t/1368256/56927/292/0/

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, college and university administrators, and others involved in educating allied health
professionals will join together to discuss common issues and identify best practices in allied health education.
