This document discusses medical nutrition therapy (MNT), which is the application of nutrition assessment, intervention, and counseling to manage disease and improve health outcomes. MNT is provided by registered dietitian nutritionists and involves a standardized process called the nutrition care process. This includes nutrition assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and monitoring. The nutrition assessment involves collecting information on diet, anthropometrics, labs, physical findings, and medical history. This information is used to determine a nutrition diagnosis and develop an individualized nutrition intervention plan to address any identified dietary contributors to disease. MNT has been shown to improve clinical outcomes and lower healthcare costs for many chronic conditions.
Physician shortages in Canada have been a topic of debate for decades. In the 1990s, there was a consensus that Canada had a physician surplus, but by the early 2000s policies shifted to increasing medical school enrolment and allowing more foreign graduates due to a perceived shortage. However, the causes of shortages are complex, with factors like physician migration to the US and preferences for specialty careers over family medicine contributing. While some argue for general increases in physician supply, others propose improving retention through addressing job satisfaction or focusing on primary care over specialties. There are differing views on how to best address physician resource issues in the Canadian healthcare system.
This study aimed to determine the effect of an educational program on nursing students' knowledge of HPV. Eighteen senior nursing students completed a pre-test, participated in an HPV educational program, and then took a post-test.

Doctors of Tomorrow – A Pipeline Program for Getting a Head Start in Medicineinventionjournals
Purpose: Pipeline programs have long been embraced as a strategyto recruit students from groups underrepresented in medicine into medical careers. Despite the prevalence of these programs, we know little about why students seek out participation and even less about their perceptions of the potential long-term benefits. This study explored the motivations and expectations of pipeline program participants. Method: Twenty-three high school students participated in the Doctors of Tomorrow (DoT) program, a high school and medical school partnership pipeline program from September 2014 through March 2015. Data for this study included students’ application essays, critical incident narratives, focus group discussions and transcripts from individual interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze all narrative materials and transcripts. Results: Our analysis of all program data revealed that DoT participants were motivated to participate in the program to learn about becoming a physician, gain access to individuals in medicine and develop a competitive advantage over other students when applying to college and medical school. Conclusions: Barriers to careers in medicine for individuals from groups underrepresented in medicine is well documented. These findings suggest that students seek to participate in pipeline programs as astrategy to secure goal-oriented, experiential encounters to help improve access points and mitigate barriers to becoming physicians

It begins with an overview of trends in U.S. undergraduate medical education including longitudinal clinical programs and a movement toward competency-based evaluations using Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). Next, it discusses changes in clinical undergraduate medical education such as longitudinal integrated clerkships and EPA-based evaluations. Finally, it reviews graduate medical education, noting new requirements from the ACGME, and novel approaches using digital resources, asynchronous learning theory, and social media.
Breanna Schnitger was inspired by her four young girls to further her education. As a result of her successful completion of our Phlebotomy program, she was hired by WellStar Cobb Hospital.

Public Health Program Development to Complement Occupational Therapy PracticeSamantha Thompson
This document describes a public health program developed through collaboration between occupational therapy and public health practitioners to support parents of teenagers with autism. A needs assessment identified key parental needs around stress, support, and caregiving burden. In response, a nine-session parent health program was developed covering topics like financial wellness, independence promotion, and social skills. Program evaluation found it increased parents' knowledge, decreased stress, and improved confidence in handling their teenager's transition out of high school. The collaboration between occupational therapy and public health allowed for addressing needs at both the individual client and community levels.
Carlos Barrera is a biomedical engineering student who graduated from the University of Miami in 2015. He has extensive research experience in orthopedics and intervertebral disc regeneration. He has worked as a teaching assistant for scanning electron microscopy and assisted in various chemistry laboratories. Barrera also has leadership experience through involvement with several professional organizations and volunteering with various medical missions.
The document provides a strategic analysis of the DrPH program at Boston University School of Public Health. It aims to analyze the current state of the program and develop recommendations to increase the applicant pool. The analysis finds that while BUSPH ranks highly, its DrPH program has seen a decrease in applicants. Students and alumni desire greater standardization and a more practice-focused curriculum. There is also a lack of funding and visibility for the program. Key recommendations include creating an explicit mission statement for the DrPH, periodically updating its website with alumni success stories, and improving the program's presence within BUSPH. These recommendations intend to strengthen the program and attract more applicants.
This document provides a snapshot of the current state of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model of primary care. It discusses the need for improved primary care due to issues with the current U.S. healthcare system such as high costs, fragmented care, and poor access. While the U.S. spends over $2.9 trillion annually on healthcare, only 4-7% goes to primary care. The document outlines growth in PCMH initiatives and evidence that the model can reduce costs and utilization while improving quality. It also discusses future directions for PCMHs, including greater integration, financial support, workforce development, and use of technology.

With nurses and midwives providing the majority of health care globally, nursing education in all countries must
prepare students for broader responsibilities to move the agenda forward for equitable care and universal health
coverage. Columbia University School of Nursing developed and implemented a vibrant approach to curriculum
transformation that included a new didactic course followed by a program of global clinical experiences to
expand students' learning environments in global health. Program planning included defining learning objec-
tives, mobilizing support within the school, establishing new sites, recruiting and preparing students, overseeing
of students with host institutions, and evaluating the program. A total of twenty-four students were placed over
five sites for a six-week credit-bearing global clinical experience. Students had varied clinical experiences with
new understandings of the reality of health disparities. Host sites expressed a commitment to have students
return in the next year, and all students stated that they would chose a global experience again. This innovation
provides a transformative addition to nursing education with a deepened understanding of health disparities and
nursing roles in different health systems. It strengthens the school's network of nursing and midwifery educators
and opens doors for new exchanges.
Introduction
Nurses and midwives provide the majority of clinical care around
the world. Their roles and responsibilities are substantial in advancing
the global mandate to provide health care for all and universal health
coverage. The health care environment has rapidly moved from a na-
tional to global focus, influenced by increased technological advances,
record migrations of people and increased disparities, necessitating a
framework for global equity. Nursing and midwifery education needs to
prepare students to assume broader roles in the global environment
with competencies that include a rigorous understanding of the orga-
nization of health systems and access to resources, leadership skills, and
advocacy for the most marginalized populations to ensure equitable
health care as a fundamental human right (Wilson et al., 2016). The
Global Strategic Directions for Nursing and Midwifery 2016–2020, re-
cently released by the World Health Organization, states: “Nurses… are
critical in achieving global mandates such as universal health coverage
and the Sustainable Development Goals. The mandates provide a
challenge as well as an opportuni ...

1. Spring semester 2014 is in full swing. As we gathered the new
students together for their class photo last semester, it was a
proud moment that gave me pause. No longer a brand-new
program, we have matriculated our tenth class this fall, and
have conferred the M.P.H. degree upon more than
190 students thus far. Many of the graduates are working in
the Southwest Ohio region, which has been one of the goals
of the program since its founding. However, the reach of the
program is well beyond Southwest Ohio. The M.P.H.
Admissions Committee continues to receive a number of international applications above
and beyond an increasingly competitive pool of U.S. applicants. WSU M.P.H. alumnae can
now be found across the map of the United States—and some internationally. Several of our
graduates have become health commissioners, and most have risen to positions of increased
responsibility since completing their degree.
Our M.P.H. program is complemented by affiliated programs including the dual degree
Physician Leadership Development Program, the Certificate in Health Care Management
program, the Wright State University Raj Soin College of Business M.B.A. program, and an
exciting Global Health Program.
Our current four concentration areas of Public Health Management, Health Promotion and
Education, Global Health, and Emergency Preparedness remain robust with dynamic
leadership. You will be hard-pressed to find a more enthusiastic and student-centered group
of faculty, or a more interesting, dedicated, and diverse group of students. It is indeed my
honor and pleasure to lead this M.P.H. program as it continues to mature and excel.

M.P.H. Student Cohort—fall 2013
2. The Physician Leadership Development
Program (PLDP) offers medical students
management and leadership skills, as well as
knowledge of health economics and
population-based medicine. It is designed
to develop future leaders of the health care
system, including CEOs of health care
organizations, such as hospital systems,
government agencies, nonprofit
organizations and for-profit health
care companies.
In August 2012, Colleen McCormick (’13)
was recognized by the American Medical
Association (AMA) Foundation with a
Physicians of Tomorrow Award.
In September 2012, the PLDP hosted an
advance screening of Escape Fire: The Fight
to Rescue American Healthcare. Over 125
students, faculty, and community members
attended the screening.
The PLDP students also presented the first
Medical Student Leadership Conference in
October 2012. This half-day conference
provided 57 medical students with
information, networking opportunities, and
small group workshops led by community
physician leaders.
Colleen McCormick (’13) and Betty
Cheney (MS-3) presented “Creating
Educational Experiences for Dual Degree
Students: The Longitudinal Clinical
Experience” at the Association for
Prevention Teaching and Research
Annual Conference, in Washington, D.C.,
March 11-12, 2013.
Kiran Faryar (MS-4) presented “Students
Teaching Students: An Introduction to
Healthcare Leadership for First Year Medical
Students” at the Association for Prevention
Teaching and Research Annual Conference,
in Washington, D.C., March 11-12, 2013.
In May 2013, five PLDP students completed
their M.D./M.P.H. dual degrees and are
currently in their residencies: Meaghan
Ebetino (Family Medicine, Wright State
University), Robert Eick (Family Medicine,
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill),
Kiran Faryar (Emergency Medicine,
University of Louisville), Matias Iberico
(Internal Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, San
Francisco), and Colleen McCormick
(Pediatrics, Northwestern University,
Chicago).
Colleen McCormick, M.D., M.P.H. (’13)
was presented with the Reach Out of
Montgomery County Student Volunteer
Appreciation Award and with the American
Medical Women’s Association
Glasgow-Rubin Citation for Academic
Achievement. Meaghan Ebetino, M.D.,
M.P.H. (’13) was recognized with the
Geriatric Medicine Award at graduation.

Roopsi
Narayan is a
current second
year M.P.H.
student whose
practice
placement
project was
recently
featured in the
Yellow Springs
News. A practice placement is an
opportunity for each student to get involved
in a public health organization to see how
they collaborate with the community to
achieve objectives and for the student to
take part in a project that assists the
organization in achieving its mission. As a
student in the Emergency Preparedness
concentration of the program, she decided
to explore options within her local health
department which developed into a
connection with Dr. Don Brannen, an
epidemiologist at the Green County
Combined Health District (GCCHD).
He was very welcoming of her as he had
previously worked with several WSU
M.P.H. students.
Through her connection with Dr. Brannen,
she was able to take part in three distinct
projects: Radiological Disaster Preparedness
Training for Public Health Workers for
Medical Reserve Corps and interested
citizens; Sleep Safe Infant Study; and the
study in which Roopsi Narayan was
published regarding water de-fluoridation in
Yellow Springs’ municipal water supply. The
de-fluoridation surveillance study done by
the GCCHD preliminarily found that local
children who have been exposed to fluori-
dated water for a shorter period of time had
higher rates of tooth decay. The overall
hopes of the study are to examine a larger
number of children over a longer period of
time in order to evaluate the long-term
effects of de-fluoridated water. The results
from the study come with a caveat as more
participation is needed to strengthen the
research data, but unbiased long-term
research is essential in determining the
health impact that public health policies are
having on populations.
“Ms. Roopsi Narayan is highly intelligent
and capable. I had the opportunity to host
her during her practice placement rotation
for her M.P.H. degree. Without reservation,
she has been the most outstanding student
I’ve had,” Dr. Brannen said.
Aside from data analysis, Roopsi was given
the opportunity to sit in on multiple
tabletop exercises, some of which were held
within the health department and others
where several agencies such as the MMRS,
Red Cross, the National Guard, and other
health departments participated. During
these exercises, she met with several WSU
M.P.H. graduates who are now working
with public health agencies around Ohio.
Roopsi was excited to be given the
opportunity to not only take part in a real
public health study, but also to watch public
health leaders make decisions in different
stimulated situations. “It was a rewarding
experience to spend so many hours with
public health leaders, listening to them, and
talking with them about their roles, plans,
and goals for the future of our community,”
she said. “With the de-fluoridation project I
hope to make a difference, even if it is tiny,
in the dental health of Greene County
residents.”

Julianne Nesbit, RS, M.P.H.
Julianne Nesbit is the current Health
Commissioner at the Clermont County
Health Department.
How did you arrive at your current
position?
“My undergraduate degree is in environmental
management. I stumbled across a position as a
Sanitarian for Warren County Combined
Health District and was hooked on public
health from there. I received my Master of
Public Health in 2005 from Wright State
University and took a position as assistant
health commissioner with Clermont County
General Health District. April 1, 2013, I
became health commissioner.”
What advice would you have for others
who are aspiring to be public health
leaders?
“My career has been very fulfilling so far and I
look forward to the next phase. If aspiring
public health professionals are interested in the
big picture of public health, I highly recom-
mend they pursue the career they want. Within
my first two years as a sanitarian, I knew I
wanted to be a health commissioner someday,
but it takes time to learn the ropes. I have had
great mentors in my career, and I would
encourage aspiring leaders to learn all they can
from their mentors, take from them the things
that you can use, but at the same time develop
your own styles and views. You have to be your
own leader.”

Kelly was a WSU Grad-Prep Scholar from 2012-2013 and wrote the following. “The program
really helped me with the application process for grad school. My mentor, Dr. Nikki Rogers,
was especially integral to the process; she really helped me figure out what type of research I
am interested in and pushed me to be more assertive so that more professional opportunities
would be available for me. Because of this, I gave three presentations in the last year, including
my first ever oral presentation at a major conference: the European Khat Research Program
Conference in Frankfurt, Germany. This presentation, along with the research project Dr.
Rogers assigned me, has led to my first two publications which are currently under review.
This fellowship allowed me to seriously bolster my CV, and I gained a lifetime friend and
mentor in the process.”
