Message from the Dean With an organization as large and diverse as the MUSC College of Health Professions, and when coupled with its history of excellence, one might imagine the challenge in writing an executive summary that reflects the breadth and depth of the college’s impact locally, state-wide, regionally, nationally, and internationally. However, this is a remarkably satisfying effort because it requires one to reflect on the extraordinary accomplishments of the college’s faculty, staff, and students. Within this final report through the overarching themes of education, research, and service, as well as within departmental reports, there is clearly a sense of mission and purpose that defines the college. The goal of this executive summary is to capture certain critical dominant themes and key examples that have characterized the college’s advancement through 2009-10. The College of Health Professions (CHP) resides in the larger MUSC academic health sciences center and as such shares with it a principal organizational initiative to advance MUSC Excellence through five key pillars. This executive summary defines CHP excellence through those pillars.
People Perhaps the most strategic initiative for the future of CHP was the hiring of Dr. Steven Kautz as chair of the Department of Health Sciences and Research to further develop the newly formed department and transfer his nationally recognized research team from the University of Florida to MUSC. Dr. Kautz will also hold the title of Career Research Scientist in the Ralph H Johnson Department of Veteran Affairs. Mark S. Sothmann, PhD Professor and Dean MUSC College of Health Professions
Dr. Maralynne Mitcham received the MUSC Distinguished Faculty Service Award, a coveted recognition for 38 years of exemplary service to the university and her profession. Four MUSC professors were selected to receive the 2009 MUSC Foundation Teaching Award, and two of the four, Dr. Andrea White and Dr. Abby Kazley, were from the the College and the same Division of Health Administration. Dr. Heather Shaw Bonilha received the inaugural Sataloof Young Investigator Award presented at the national Voice Foundation Symposium. Dr. James Krause received the American Rehabilitation Counseling Association Research Award for excellence in publishing on vocational rehabilitation. Ms. Melissa Freeland received the CHP Staff Annual Legend Award for her contributions across many dimensions of the college. Mr. Dennis White, a student in the Executive Doctorate in Health Administration program, was

appointed to the American Health Quality Association (AHQA) Board of Directors. Ms. Allie Wehunt, a student in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program, was elected as President of the American Physical Therapy Association Student Assembly.
Service Dr. Jim Zoller was the recipient of the 2009-10 CHP Excellence in Service Award for his numerous contributions to the college and MUSC Excellence. Students in CHP donated over 6,000 hours of community service this year reaching from Charleston to Uganda. A CHP Communications Team, co-chaired by Catherine McCullough and Dr. Karen Wager, developed a comprehensive set of recommendations to implement an overarching communications plan, including CHP website redesign. The Student Health Professionals United in Recognizing Diversity (SHPURD) tutored and mentored students at the Cannon Street YMCA and presented a significant contribution to the Boys and Girls Club of America. The CHP staff made significant contributions of time to the Trident United Way, March of Dimes, Haiti Earthquake Relief, and Relay for Life.
Quality In a recent survey, 98% of the students in CHP agreed with the statement, “I believe I have received a quality education at MUSC.” Three of the second year Ph.D. students were awarded the MUSC Clinical and Translational Research Training Program’s T32 awards emphasizing translational and clinical research. Dr. Mike Saladin received a coveted research grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) competition. More than 25,000 applications were submitted for 200-250 awards. At MUSC over 100 applications were submitted and just 4 were awarded. CHP continues to be viewed as a university and national leader in interprofessional education with 42 students participating in the interprofessional fellowship experience. While CHP graduated its final Communications Sciences & Disorders class, the Ph.D. in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences will have a specialty track in functional limitations that includes communication and swallowing disorders. CHP has one of the most advanced simulation centers in the country for training cardiovascular perfusionists.

Simulation Center is a fully equipped operating room with an Orpheus Cardiopulmonary Bypass Simulator. CHP has long been committed to high standards in educational technology that was further advanced by the strategic planning of the Educational Technology Advisory Committee. The Clinical Professional/Masters I team of occupational therapy students mentored by Dr. Patricia Coker-Bolt received a first place award at the Perry V Halushka MUSC Student Research Day. The Anesthesia for Nurses educational program was accredited for the maximum 10 years with no interim report required. The average first time pass rates across all professional programs was 95% with no program lower than a 91% pass rate. CHP has been recognized for its outstanding faculty in teaching with nearly 40% of all the MUSC teaching awards since their inception going to CHP faculty.
Growth The faculty and staff in CHP should be commended for expanding their class sizes to absolute limits of capacity in order to replace the loss of state

appropriations and meet the ongoing demand for health professionals. Dr. Emily Moore was named the founding director of the Master of Health Administration-Global degree to be delivered in India, Singapore, and the United Kingdom in partnership with the Institute of Clinical Research India. An additional key faculty hire is Dr. Michael Meacham. This partnership will likely grow the CHP student base by several hundred international students. Ms. Naomi Sampson was named the founding director of the Office of Educational Outreach and Strategic Initiatives to coordinate and provide logistical support for educational activities such as those occurring in India and China. An Interprofessional Track for clinicians in the Doctor of Health Administration degree was approved by the South Carolina Higher Education Commission. The Division of Physical Therapy began an Orthopedic Manual Therapy continuing education series. While the total numbers of grants submitted remained at approximately 40, the same level as 2009, the dollar amount of the grant request increased from $15,012,557 to $35,022,224, a 133% increase.

While the total number of grants awarded dropped from 25 in 2009 to 20 in 2010, the dollar value of the awards increased from $2,632,248 to $3,614,531, a 37% increase in grant funding. The $3,614,531 figure represents the highest funding received by CHP for research since records have been kept by the MUSC Office of Research and Sponsored Programs dating back to 1999. Federal grants make up 64% of the College’s research awards, which is a 16% increase over 2009. CHP recruited a team of 5 funded investigators under Dr. Steve Kautz to lead a nationally recognized group on Neurorehabilitation Research that will interface with the Ralph H. Johnson Veteran Affairs, the Clemson Bioengineering program, the South Carolina Clinical and Translational Research Institute, the Department of Neuroscience-Clinical Neuroscience and the Center for Economic Excellence in Stroke.
Finance While overall the 2010 revenues increased just slightly from 2009, CHP increased its reserves to approximately $8 million, an 86% increase from $4.3 million in 2007. The CHP revenue sources are well balanced with 56% from tuition and fees, 16% from state appropriations, 14% from grants, 11% from faculty clinical practice, and 3% from other. The Finance and Administration Division continues rigorous financial review and state-of-the-art economic modeling to project the overall financial well-being of the college CHP leadership is directing the MUSC Funds Flow Steering Committee which has been appointed by the President’s Office to review and make recommendations to better position MUSCfinancially for the future. While nationally and in South Carolina the difficult economic times have presented an unprecedented challenge for higher education, it is clear from this executive summary that 2010 represented a banner year for CHP with many firsts and a continued energy to position the college for the future in ways not imagined even 5 years ago. This vision and energy emerges from an optimism and “can do” attitude that permeates CHP. The more detailed descriptions in subsequent sections of this report provide even greater indication of the dedication exhibited by the CHP faculty, staff, and students.
Sincerely,
Mark S. Sothmann Professor and Dean Banner Picture: The High School of Charleston’s motto, “Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve” has been preserved on the original facade of the building now located in the atrium of the College of Health Professions complex.

Education “Education is not the answer to the question. Education is the means to the answer to all questions.” -William Allin The College of Health Professions continued to attract the best and brightest students from South Carolina as well as nationally and internationally as it celebrated its forty-third anniversary. Due to the college’s stellar reputation of providing academic excellence, nearly 1,300 students applied to the one of eleven academic programs offered. As competition remains strong for admittance into the programs, incoming students (for all academic programs combined) had a grade point average of 3.4, and an average Graduate Record Examination (GRE) score of 1667. The college had another successful graduation, awarding degrees to 322 baccalaureate, master, and doctoral students anxious to apply their new skills and knowledge to their chosen professions. In addition, 46 graduating students were inducted into the new College of Health Professions’ Alpha Eta National Honor Society for their outstanding academic achievement. In the end, when the students received their degrees, the College of Health Professions’ faculty and staff felt confident that they had provided outstanding learning experiences to their students. In a recent university survey, 98% of the students from the College of Health Professions agreed with the statement “I believe I have received a quality education at MUSC.” Additionally, 96% felt they made the right choice in selecting MUSC, and would recommend MUSC to a prospective student. The College of Health Professions continues to be viewed as a leader in interprofessional education which provides opportunities for students and faculty from various health professions to learn from each other with the objective of cultivating collaborative practice to improve client and/or patient centered care. Again this year, the college faculty and students were actively involved in the campus Creating Collaborative Care (C3) initiative. Several faculty members hold leadership roles within C3: they serve on domain committees; participate in core and elective course offerings; offer fellowship learning opportunities for students; provide support for students participating in the CLARION competition, the CARES Clinic, the Interprofessional Service Learning Project, Presidential Scholars, and the Student Picture: Associate Professor, Dr. Holly Wise meets with students to plan Interprofessional Day activites
Interprofessional Society; as well as participation in the C3 Faculty Development Institute.
Students are socialized to appreciate the importance of interprofessional education and team spirit the moment they arrive on our campus. College orientation includes interprofessional team training where students are introduced to the concept of learning from, with, and about each other. Several programs develop subsequent opportunities for students to engage with those from other professions and explore topics of common concern. Over 42 College of Health Professions students are currently participating in the interprofessional fellowship experience and, in the past year, seven completed the fellowship. One important outcome of these interprofessional experiences for students was highlighted in a recent survey when 92% of College of Health Professions students agreed with the statement that their understanding of the contributions of other health care professionals to health care delivery or research increased last year.

for the dollar value of those applications demonstrates relatively consistent requests for funding through FY 2009, with the exception of a moderate decrease in FY 2008. However, the dollar value of the applications submitted for FY 2010 totaled $35,022,224, up from $15,012,557 for FY 2009. This is a dramatic 133% increase in the amount of funding sought through grant applications compared to FY 2009. MUSC College of Health Professions 2010 Annual Report

Grants Awarded Over the last five years, the number of grant awards to CHP PIs has varied. This variability is attributed to many factors such as the increasingly competitive environment of external funding, particularly from federal funding sources, and attempts to seek fewer larger grants rather than many smaller grants. However, the five-year trend for the dollar value of those awards indicates the College’s increasing success in securing higher dollar grant awards. The dollar value of the awards for FY 2010 totaled $3,614,531, up from $2,632,248 for FY 2009. This is a noteworthy 37% increase in grant funding compared to FY 2009. Clearly, the College of Health Professions faculty have aggressively, and successfully, pursued major grant opportunities to support new and ongoing lines of research.
Source of Funds Federal grants made up 64% of the total grants awarded. Compared to last year, this is a 16% escalation in Federal awards, which is impressive considering

competitive
There was also
an 8% increase in Corporate awards, a 2% increase in State awards, and a 25% decrease in Foundation Funding. The decrease in funding from foundations likely reflects the economic climate; benevolent giving to foundations has dropped sharply. Consequently, foundations are less able to provide grant funding for external projects.

These actions shape and mold the present into a future of which we can all be proud. --Helen Dyer Faculty Awards for Service Dr. Mitcham received the 2009 Medical University of South Carolina Distinguished Faculty Service award. For 38 years, Dr. Mitcham has practiced her chosen profession of Occupational Therapy, with twenty-five of those years as a faculty member at MUSC. Dr. Mitcham has regularly stepped in to assume challenging leadership roles within the university during critical times. Her intelligence, quick wit, and stellar work ethic made each transition a smooth success. Currently Director of the Division of Occupational Therapy and Interim Chair of the Department of Health Professions, both within the College of Health Professions, Dr. Mitcham has served in many leadership capacities within the college and throughout the university. Some of these include service as Assistant Dean for Research and Graduate Studies, Director of Post-Professional Graduate Programs in the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences and membership on at least 40 university committees. Additionally Dr. Mitcham has served in and been honored by many professional organizations, including the American Heart Association, American Occupational Therapy Association, American Occupational Therapy Foundation and many others.
Dr. Maralynne Mitcham is awarded the MUSC Distinguished Faculty Service Award
Dr. Jim Zoller was the recipient of the College of Health Professions Excellence in Service Award which serves to recognize and honor a faculty member who, during a substantial portion of their careers, has provided exceptional and sustained service and contributions in teaching, research, health care, and/or public service to the college, university, and the citizens of South Carolina and the nation. In addition to his formal administrative service Dr. Zoller has voluntarily assumed many service responsibilities for the university, the college, and the department. Dr. Jim Zoller receives the Excellence in Service Award
Most recently he has demonstrated his interest and exceptional skills in the area of information technology by participating on the MUSC Excellence Measurement Team and he has taken a lead role analyzing data for the University’s MUSC Excellence initiative.
Student Service Accomplishments Students in the College of Health Professions donated over 6,000 hours of community service this year. Their outreach efforts touched the lives of those who live locally in the Charleston community and extended to children halfway around the world, living in Uganda. The Student Health Professionals United in Recognizing Diversity (SHPURD) is a student organization within the College whose purpose is to increase awareness of and

appreciation for diversity and to provide service to underserved communities in the Charleston area. This year, SHPURD members tutored and mentored students at the Cannon Street YMCA, hosted its annual bowling tournament fundraiser, “Strikes for Special Needs”, and presented a check to the Boys and Girls Club of America for $1,511. Additionally, the College’s Student Government Association (SGA) also played a pivotal role in a number of community service activities. SGA seeks to promote interprofessional collaboration and communication among the various degree programs, and is committed to community service and outreach efforts. CHP-SGA students meet once a month during the academic year to keep abreast of campus events, and to promote interprofessional collaboration in program-initiated community service activities. Examples of interprofessional community service activities in which College of Health Professions students were involved include My Sister’s House, ALS Race for the Cure, Relay for Life, MUSC Children’s Hospital, and mission trips to Uganda.
Staff Service Activities This past year the staff members of the College of Health Professions were busy yet again participating in community service projects. Four

of the main activities were as follows: Trident United Way MUSC College of Health Professions’ staff members Lauren Smith, Lauren Dickerson and Lauren Stitely served on a MUSC-wide committee organized to spread awareness and raise money for Trident United Way of the Tricounty area. Representatives from Trident United Way joined the College of Health Professions Staff Congress at a meeting and shared stories and information about how their donations could help individuals in the community. The staff generously raised and donated money which will positively affect local non-profits and forward the mission of Trident United Way – “working to strengthen our community by focusing on education, income and health.” March of Dimes As part of the MUSC effort to raise money for the local March of Dimes chapter, several MUSC College of Health Professions staff members volunteered to help sell purses at a campus wide Purses for Preemies sale on Friday, April 9th, 2010. Hundreds of purses were donated by MUSC employees across the university and hospital. These purses were then priced by volunteers and sold in the horseshoe Banner Picture: CHP Finance team poses with the other staffers to promote the Trident United Way campaign which runs from September to December every year at MUSC.

during lunch. MUSC College of Health Professions staff members enthusiastically donated their time to help at the purse sale. Blue Jeans for Babies was also held on April 9th, 2010. Employees who brought in $5 to donate towards March of Dimes were permitted to wear blue jeans to work. Finally, a number of MUSC College of Health Professions staff members participated in the March of Dimes March for Babies 2010 held on April 24th, 2010. The money raised at this walk supports programs in the local community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. It also funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten babies. Haiti Earthquake Relief On January 12, 2010 an estimated 3 million people were affected by a major earthquake hitting the island nation of Haiti. Many countries responded with humanitarian aid and the staff of the College of Health Professions at MUSC joined the efforts by putting together healthcare baggies for victims who had lost everything. In each baggie were soap, a comb, fingernail clippers, a fingernail file, a toothbrush, toothpaste, a washcloth, and $1 (for mailing). Sherri Scott headed up the effort as an extension of the efforts of her church, and staff members donated washcloths, soap, and money to add to the bags that were already being made. Relay for Life Staff member, Julie Parrish, headed up the effort of Relay for Life for the staff at the College of Health Professions because she was a team captain for the Relay for Life team through her church in Summerville. The College of Health Professions employees, as well as those throughout the entire university and hospital, contributed to the success of the endeavor, purchasing 422 shirts which raised $4,500 for the cause.

Growth & Development New Chair: Department of Health Sciences and Research With the appointment of Steven Kautz, PhD, as Chair of the Department of Health Sciences and Research, the college has taken a major stride toward its mission to achieve national distinction in Health Professions’ education, research and service. As noted by College of Health Professions Dean Mark Sothmann, Dr. Kautz brings with him a nationally recognized research program in neurorehabilitaion and extensive experience through his engagement with one of the nation’s best Ph.D. programs in rehabilitation sciences at the University of Florida. As evidenced by his recent designations as a Veterans Affairs (VA) Research Career Scientist, of which there are only 174 nationwide, and a University of Florida Research Foundation Professor, Dr. Kautz’ research achievements carry the gravitas to place the College of Health Professions in the national forefront of multi-disciplinary neuro-rehabilitiation research. In addition to his primary appointment in the College of Health Professions, Dr. Kautz will have a joint appointment with the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston. He will also have formal affiliation with the MUSC Department of Neuroscience and the Clemson University Bioengineering Program. These multiple appointments are indicative of the multi-disciplinary nature of his research and the future direction of College of Health Professions based research, which will feature significant collaborative engagement in stroke rehabilitation research with the MUSC Center of Economic Excellence on Stroke Research and multiple other collaborating entities. The primary focus of Dr. Kautz’ research program is to develop fundamental concepts related to walking performance, its measurement and its rehabilitation. Other researchers and clinicians will then be able to use that conceptual framework to understand the underlying mechanisms of impaired walking. In addition to the
Picture: Steven Kautz, PhD, Chair of the Department of Health Sciences and Research leading a research collaboration luncheon.
conceptual frameworks needed to understand walking performance, Dr. Kautz’ research also yields a measurement toolbox which relates measures to the impairment status of systems that serve walking functions. This measurement toolbox helps clinicians choose the appropriate rehabilitation approach specific to the measured deficits of an individual person. Dr. Kautz’ vision for his research is that it must ultimately improve clinical practice, putting better tools in the hands of clinicians and ultimately improving the quality of life of patients. In order to affect a condition as complex and multidimensional as stroke, the research questions that must be formulated are complex, necessitating multidisciplinary approaches. For Dr. Kautz, one of the primary attractions of the position with the College of Health Professions is an environment in which he can establish the multi-disciplinary teams needed to bring the relevant expertise to complex research questions. The nexus of resources available through the College of Health Professions, MUSC and VA allow Dr. Kautz to assemble teams of exceptional scientists to address cutting-edge questions in neuro-rehabilitation. One of the major challenges to rehabilitation research as it relates to walking is the paucity of quantitative data that describes how muscular forces, in the context of motor coordination, produce normal or abnormal movement of the lower extremities. Such data is essential to restoring and maintaining function.
MUSC College of Health Professions 2010 Annual Report

Understanding of the neural control principles applicable to human locomotion is dependent upon a thorough understanding of complex musculoskeletal task biomechanics. Biomechanical modeling and simulation tools are crucial to this understanding. In the neurological population, models that account for task and musculoskeletal biomechanics are crucial in order to differentiate a “pathological” coordination pattern from one that is appropriate. Data from both normal and post-stroke hemiparetic populations are necessary to answer questions such as: what are the observable consequences of an underlying impairment? And, how would a walking pattern change if a specific impairment were greatly ameliorated? The answers to these questions will be the focus of the neuroscientists, bioengineers and multiple other research and medical professionals Dr. Kautz’ research will bring together. Their discoveries will facilitate the development of new measures and new targets for intervention, setting the cornerstone for further research as well as the College of Health Professions’s identity as a leading research institution. For Dr. Kautz the decision to accept the chairmanship of the College of Health Professions’ Department of Health Sciences and Research was based on many criteria. There was the noted unique combination of resources that support collaborative, multi-disciplinary research. There was the Charleston factor – an opportunity to live in what he and his family consider a world-class city which supports numerous cultural and outdoor activities. But perhaps above all is the opportunity to continue to follow the motivation that has informed his life’s work – to do, as he describes it, “good, important work in a good environment that contributes to the knowledge of our professions and ultimately benefits quality of life.” As Dr. Kautz transforms an already successful research career to a new level of accomplishment, he concurrently helps transform an institution. During the next 5-10 years Dr. Kautz sees the College of Health Professions establishing a core research identity that will make it a key player in collaborative research throughout MUSC, as well as a national leader in neuro-rehabilitation research. His leadership

during this period will help transition College of Health Professions from its previous identity as primarily a teaching institution to an identity as a national leader and sought after collaborator on research that will define the rehabilitation sciences.
Information Technology The past year has been exciting and busy for the College of Health Professions Department of Information and Educational Technology. The College has long been committed to high standards in educational technology and furthered its commitment this year with the implementation of an educational technology strategic plan, led by the College Educational Technology Advisory Committee. The plan consists of four strategies and ten objectives with the overall aim to promote a culture that values innovation and excellence in the use of educational technology to improve teaching and learning opportunities. To establish baseline understanding of technology use in the College, the Advisory group completed a survey of all faculty, staff, and students and submitted a paper for publication on Banner Picture: Former storage area is converted into a workroom for the Education and Information Technology team to hold seminars focused on educating faculty, staff and students on computer advances and to serve as a workroom for repairs and updates.

Guided by survey findings, a number of technology workshops and “technology spotlights” were offered for faculty and staff, an educational technology SharePoint repository of useful resources was created, a matrix of the “top 20” technologies was developed, and a partnership with Atomic Learning was established to offer access to web-based tutorials. This year, the College bid a very sad farewell to retiree Bud Cooper, who worked in College of Health Professions IT and at MUSC for over 30 years. Mr. Cooper passed away in February, 2010 and will be greatly missed by his colleagues and friends at the university.
Office of Development At a time when contributions to nonprofits nationwide have seen a decline of about three percent, MUSC continues to surpass goals and expectations in its fundraising initiatives. FY 2009-2010 ends with the Medical University raising $76.7 million, the most ever in a single fiscal year and an 8.2 percent increase over FY 2008-2009. And while this success illustrates the tremendous value of MUSC’s scientific, medical and educational activities, the economic crisis of the last few years has been sobering and not without challenges. Like the College of Health Professions as a whole, the Development Office has responded with a renewed focus on the enduring principles of philanthropy and the College’s central vision of national distinction. To that end, there has been a significant emphasis on the three major components of our strategic plan: developing a compelling case for

support, cultivating new partners and innovative relationships, and reengaging our traditional and long-standing supporters - our alumni, Public Advisory Board and existing donors. Exciting advances have taken place on each of these fronts and these proactive actions will well-position the College to emerge from this time of massive change with increased strength in terms of our message, our leadership and our gift potential.
Communications Realizing that establishing and strengthening relationships between the College and its constituents is critical to a successful development effort, the Office of Development continues to drive efforts to enhance communications for the College. Last summer a Communications Team, co-chaired by Catherine McCullough, Director of Development, and Dr. Karen Wager, Associate Dean for Student Affairs, was established and charged with developing a comprehensive communications plan and set of recommendations for the College. A significant part of the Team’s focus has been to consider how best to improve the design, content and usability of the College’s website. After a great deal of investigation into how to accomplish this goal, the Team recommended that the College dedicate a new position to the redesign and then future maintenance of the website. Lauren Stitely, formerly Administrative Assistant to Development and the Dean, was identified as having the interest, creativity and ability to be highly effective as a communications/ Banner Picture: CHP Alumni Board meeting under the leadership of new president, Anne Durant.

web design specialist for the College and she officially began her new role as Communications and Advancement Coordinator on June 1st. It is expected that this reassignment of resources will allow the College of Health Professions to highlight more effectively its many achievements and to offer students, alumni, researchers and other constituent audiences the access to information and resources they require. The College’s new E-Newsletter for alumni, friends and donors, The Arch, continues to meet with high praise as well. Started in March of 2009 and published three times a year, the newsletter is available both by email and on the website and offers alumni a chance to stay connected and the divisions a chance to share accomplishments and news.
Public Advisory Board A principal component of the Development Office’s new momentum has been a new and exciting level of engagement by the College’s Public Advisory Board. The Board has taken an active role in helping to frame the College’s message to external constituents – holding working sessions to discuss how and to whom we should be telling the College’s “story”. In recent meetings, the Board also agreed to invite new membership and to revise its bylaws to ensure a high level of commitment, creativity and diversity. Mr. Samuel Steinberg continues to serve as Chair of the Board and Mr. Rhett Dunaway as Vice-Chair. Returning board members include: Ms. Karen DeMarco, Dr. Tray Dunaway, Dr. David Garr, Mr. John Jordan, Sr., Dr. Brian Poplin, Ms. Sandra Poulnot, Dr. Mark Rutledge, Ms. Maxine Smith, Dr. Richard Toomey and Dr. Larry Winn. Mr. Don Lundy recently completed his two year term as the College of Health Professions Alumni Association liaison. We thank Don for his wonderful service to the Board and prepare to welcome Anne Durant, MHA ‘01, who will begin her term as College of Health Professions Alumni President in August 2010.
Faculty and Staff The College of Health Professions remains a collection of highly knowledgeable and gifted educators, representing diverse backgrounds. The college employs 61 full-time faculty members with an additional 200 volunteer faculty and14 courtesy faculty. This past year, College of Health Professions added additional expertise to its ranks bringing in Steven Kautz, Ph.D. and Emily Moore, Ed.D. (Department of Health Sciences and Research), Jamie Woody, M.P.A. (Department of Health Professions) and Naomi Sampson, M.H.A. (Department of Health Studies). This past year, the College of Health Professions welcomed a stellar group of vastly skilled and motivated staff members to its family of 37 full-time employees. Three staff members assumed newly created positions and quickly carved out their roles in order to best support the college: Marisah Daniels, M.H.A., (Health Sciences & Research), Ashley Walpole, B.S. (Finance & Administration), and Laura Mewbourn, B.S. (Master of Health Administration-India). The college recruited additional talent to fill critical vacancies throughout: Julie Parish, M.B.A. (Finance and Administration), Cami Meyer (Student Services), Pam Shoaf, B.S. (Office of the Dean), Katie Weas, B.S. (Finance and Administration), and Leslie Nguyen, M.B.A. (Office of the Dean).

Department of
Health Professions The Department of Health Professions housed seven of the eleven educational programs in the College of Health Professions in 2010 with the primary emphasis in this Department focused on the implementation of outstanding educational programs. This has been a truly outstanding year for the
Academic Programs:
faculty, staff and students with significant accomplishments in many areas that are highlighted below.
Anesthesia for Nurses (AFN), Cardiovascular Perfusion (CVP),
Significant Changes There has been one substantial change within the Department this year with the closing of the Communications Sciences and Disorders Division. The rationale and plans for closure were announced in the annual report last year and the final class of students graduated in May 2010. It is important to clearly delineate that the CSD Division was known for the excellent quality of the medically based program and its graduates and that the decision to close it was solely due to the fiscal viability of the Division. The Communications and Disorders Program has been an exceptional educational program in the College since it began in 1997 with 100% pass rate on national board exams. Although the CSD master’s degree program will be closing, the doctoral program in Health

and Rehabilitative Sciences, with an interdisciplinary focus, has been developed. It is our intention to refocus the Communications Sciences and Disorders education at the Medical University within this degree offering in order to enhance research and scholarship. The doctoral program will include a specialty track in functional limitations that includes communication and swallowing disorders.
Accomplishments Accreditation
The Department is comprised of seven academic programs: Anesthesia for Nurses (AFN),
Cardiovascular Perfusion (CVP), Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD), Health Administration (MHA), Occupational Therapy (OT), Physician Assistant Studies (PA), and
Lisa K. Saladin, PT, PhD Executive Associate Dean and Department Chair
Physical Therapy (PT) which are each accredited by their respective national accreditation boards or commissions. Last year after an on-site visit by members of the Council of Accreditation, the Anesthesia for Nurses educational program was accredited for 10 years with no interim report required. This is the highest accreditation status awarded and distinguishes the AFN program as one of the leading programs in the country. Dr. Tony Chipas, AFN Division Director, and his faculty and staff are to be commended for this outstanding accomplishment. The Division of Cardiovascular Perfusion also completed a ten year accreditation report and on-site visit with similar accolades. They received full reaccreditation with no deficiencies noted and the report was highly complementary regarding the level of support from the College and the outstanding 95% pass rate for the past ten

Outreach Rural South Carolina The Division of Physician Assistant Studies completed a community-based needs assessment in several target areas of the state, and the feasibility of expansion of educational programs and hospital based electives was evaluated. Summer 2010 will mark the beginning of the first community based elective fusing interprofessional education in rural hospitals prior to clinical clerkship training. This pilot elective will host 20 students, and the hope in 2010 – 2011 is growth of this program for all students. The elective is a collaborative effort with South Carolina AHEC offices in the Pee Dee and Mid Carolina regions. Continuing Education The Department of Health Professions is also committed to increasing the quality of health practitioners in the community through the development and implementation of outstanding continuing education courses for licensed health care providers. A few examples of their outstanding educational outreach include the following: • Last year, the Anesthesia for Nurses Program hosted the 23rd Annual Charleston Anesthesia Conference at the DoubleTree Hotel.
In attendance
were 248 nurse anesthetists from all across the United States. Many of the attendees were alumni and a luncheon was held to honor them. This three day event provided 20 hours of continuing education credits for those in attendance. Some of the topics were: Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia, Infectious Diseases, Transplant Ethics, Effective Clinical Evaluation, and Protecting Your

Practice: Common Pitfalls in Case Preparation. • Dr. Patty Coker-Bolt led a successful continuing educational initiative in 2009. The M.O.R.E. course (Integrating the Mouth with Sensory and Postural Function) was a big hit at the 2nd annual alumni conference this year. The two-day course, was attended by 49 occupational therapist and speech-language pathologists. Guest speakers Patty Oetter and Eileen Richter provided advanced treatment concepts on how and why many aspects of pediatric development are significantly influenced by the suck/swallow/ breathe synchrony. Case examples and experiential activities were a great part of the course which included strategies for identifying abnormal function and treatment ideas to enhance oral/respiratory function. • The Division of Physical Therapy began an Orthopedic Manual Therapy continuing education series in February 2010. The four courses are designed as an evidenced-based physical therapy practice approach in the examination and treatment of patients with orthopedic dysfunctions. Specifically, the courses emphasize a manual therapy approach and strives to enhance the manual therapy Banner picture: The M.O.R.E. “Integrating the Mouth with Sensory and Postural Function” continuing education course was widely attended by regional occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists.

skills of the participants. The courses are presented as a benefit to the clinical instructors of the current MUSC PT students with a significant price discount to these clinicians. More than 80% of the participants are South Carolina residents and the Orthopedic Manual Therapy course series is an example of an educational outreach program designed to educate our clinical instructors, former students and local clinicians in current best practices in the manual therapy management of orthopedic physical therapy patients and to improve the quality of care in SC.
Technological Advancement Cardiovascular Perfusion Simulation Center In the College of Health Professions, MUSC now has one of the most advanced simulation centers in the country for training cardiovascular perfusionists. Perfusionists operate the heart-lung machine (also known as cardiopulmonary bypass) during open heart surgery. The Perfusion Simulation Center is a fully equipped operating room with an Orpheus Cardiopulmonary Bypass Simulator which is designed specifically for this purpose. Perfusion students prepare for their clinical practice in the simulator before starting their hospital clinical practice. Students can learn routine procedures in a non-threatening environment without fear of injuring a patient. As they progress, the student learner can practice emergency procedures and rehearse all the steps necessary for a safe open heart surgery procedure from beginning to end. The growth of simulation in health professions education has made possible training experiences that would take years to accomplish in the clinical practice, and the College of Health Professions is leading the way with this new technology.

The primary focus of the Office of Educational Outreach and Strategic Initiatives is to support the implementation of entrepreneurial opportunities. It serves to engage in strategic planning, to provide leadership and administrative management for innovative collaborations, to cultivate partnerships, and to promote quality initiatives that generate venture capital for the College of Health Professions. The Office of Educational Outreach and Strategic Initiatives will work with leaders of the College to establish selfsustaining initiatives that are aligned with the overall strategic mission of the College.
Current Initiatives •
Assist Dr. Emily Moore with the implementation of The Master in Health Administration (MHA) – Global Program.
• Participate in ongoing discussions with Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China about a collaborative agreement. The Master in Health Administration – Global (MHA-Global) is a full time two-year program offered by the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) through the College of Health Professions and approved by the South Carolina Commission of Higher Education. MHA-Global is an innovative program designed to develop the leadership qualities and necessary skills required by healthcare managers in a global society. The program provides a perspective on the healthcare environment and addresses the universal challenges facing leaders and administrators in diverse healthcare settings. In collaboration with the Institute of Clinical Research India (ICRI), MHA-Global is developing a potential program to offer to students in India, Singapore and United Kingdom. In December 2009, a delegation from ICRI visited MUSC to gain an understanding of the program. The ICRI delegation met with University officials, faculty and staff. In May 2010, a delegation from the College of Health Professions visited ICRI campuses in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. The College of Health Professions delegation met with key ICRI personnel and ICRI students, viewed facilities and gained perspectives on global delivery needs for the program.

Faculty/Staff Recruitment and Appointments Besides the faculty recruitments listed above, HS&R had additional hires and appointments that further the educational and research missions. Drs. Charles Ellis and Heather Bonilha will be partnering with Dr. Bonnie Martin-Harris, in further advancing the Ph.D. in Health and Rehabilitation Science. Both individuals have their own research agendas funded through federal agencies. Dr. Lee Saunders was promoted to Assistant Professor and continues to work closely with Dr. Jim Krause on their funded research centers. Enough cannot be written regarding the essential contributions of new staff hired in HS&R, including Marisah Daniels, Debra Frasier, and Ruth Wyse. It has been through their efforts that there has been a smooth transition in leadership and faculty within HS&R.

Curricular Developments The Ph.D. in Health and Rehabilitation Science, directed by Dr. Bonnie Martin-Harris made outstanding strides in positioning itself within the College of Health Professions and at MUSC. The program admitted its inaugural class of six students (purposefully kept small) with concentrations in Pathology and Impairment (2), Functional Limitations (1), and Health Services (1). The program has just recently accepted its second class of seven students for a Fall Semester 2010 startup. Three of the second year students were awarded the MUSC Clinical and Translational Research Training Program’s T32 awards emphasizing translational and clinical research. The program also developed and approved a doctoral curriculum that engages most dimensions of the college. Finally, the Ph.D. program formed and convened the University-wide Advisory Board to provide oversight and suggestions for strategic program and student development. It should also be emphasized that the faculty lead by example as role models for the students. In 2009-10 they published 14 peer reviewed articles and were Principal Investigators or Co-Investigators on six grants from the National Institutes of Health and two grants from the Veterans Administration. The Doctor of Health Administration, led by Dr. Jim Zoller with support from Professor Kit Simpson in HS&R and additional resident faculty in the Division of Health Administration, expanded its scope in fundamentally important ways. First, the DHA student recruitment initiatives the past year were successful in that over 15 healthcare professionals in management positions nationally enrolled in the Fall 2009 entering class. This cohort represents a wealth of experience as top-level administrators and it will further expand the program’s national appeal. The DHA program added an additional track, the DHA-Interprofessional Studies, that is designed to appeal to clinicians seeking higher education in health administration to advance their career goals while focusing on interprofessional teams. The Master of Research Administration was also recently approved to offer a certificate in research administration to appeal to those already holding a Master’s degree.

Facilities Perhaps one of the most important developments to define the HS&R is the upgrade/renovation of the Research Building (formerly known as Building C). This incredible undertaking could not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of both faculty and staff within the college. Through their efforts, with others from the Dean’s Office, the community building in the Research Building has been outstanding. The faculty and staff in the College of Health Professions have moved a building largely perceived as an “outpost” to one of incredible vibrancy. An additional advancement in the HS&R facilities is the planning/developing of laboratories to support the research mission of the incoming faculty. These state of the art laboratories will be widely perceived as an outstanding research capability for the broader MUSC community as well as College of Health Professions. This is clearly evident by the fact that key laboratories in the Research Building have been designated as VA research space eligible for funding so faculty holding VA appointments can submit and receive external funding from the VA. This is a significant advancement for College of Health Professions which prior to 2007 had no faculty receiving funding from the VA. In 2011 with the recruitment of new faculty there will be five faculty receiving VA grants and conducting their research in the Research Building.
Research A principal reason for developing HS&R was to create an infrastructure for further developing the external funding of the College, and this past year reflects a remarkable advancement in research funding through the department. In FY 2009 HS&R had 16 grants awarded amounting to approximately $1.8 M, whereas in 2010 there were 14 grants awarded at $3.1 M. This growth has contributed to the College being awarded over $3.8 M in 2010, the highest level for research funding ever experienced by the College of Health Professions.
Picture: First class of PhD in Health and Rehabilitation Science students. Left to right: (top row) Dr. Charles Ellis (Assistant Professor), Jazmine Arroyo, Dr. Heather Bonilha (Assistant Professor), Joe Sistino, Victor Fresco, (bottom row) Melanie Sweat, April Taylor, and Sarah Knauff
An equally remarkable achievement for HS&R is the level of grant submission in 2010 compared to 2009. In both 2009 and 2010 HS&R submitted 20 grants but the overall value was $6.9 M and $20.6 M, respectively. This tripling of grant value with the same number of submissions reflects a more experienced cadre of investigators seeking longer term support and additional infrastructure in the form of laboratory development and technical support. This maturation in the proposal submission agenda can be clearly illustrated with the example of Dr. Michael Saladin in his successful competing for ARRA research funds from NIH-NIAAA. The competition for these grant awards was extremely intense, with more than 25,000 applications being submitted for 200-250 awards of $1.0 million dollars in direct costs (or less). At MUSC, over 100 applications were submitted under this RFA and only four were awarded. His application scored in the 5th percentile and was awarded. He also submitted three administrative supplements for Banner picture: Entrance to the College of Health Professions Research building located at 77 President Street. Renovations to this building were made to house the Department of Health Sciences and Research which continues expansion of labratories and classrooms.

existing studies he currently has funded at NIDA. In total, he submitted one RC1 (funded), two RO1’s (one unfunded and one pending review) and three administrative supplements during the year. A similar scenario could be described with two or three other investigators.
Summary Through the recruitment and development initiatives implemented in 2009-10, in FY 2011 the Department of Health Sciences and Research will have grown to fifteen faculty members. They reflect a significant level of academic maturity with six full professors, four associate professors, and five assistant professors. Of the fifteen faculty, twelve are funded for their research from such federal agencies as the National Institutes of Health, Veterans Affairs, National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, and the Department of Defense. They also represent an enviable mix of disciplines as follows: exercise science, health psychology, communication sciences, health administration, epidemiology, health services, rehabilitation sciences, and bioengineering. As such, the Department of Health Sciences and Research presents an organizational infrastructure that can house a cadre of faculty in diverse backgrounds to be responsive to cutting edge trends in research and interface with key areas of research excellence on the MUSC campus. Its growth in doctoral education, external funding, grant submissions, and faculty recruitment this past year has clearly positioned it for a very vibrant future.
Center for Rehabilitation Sciences & Research Significant Accomplishments Three new grants were obtained, not including core funding from the Spinal Cord Injury Research Fund (SCIRF) for administrating research. These grants include: (a) a Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) from the National Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) on Secondary Conditions after Spinal Cord Injury, (b) a field-initiated (FIR) grant from NIDRR on Ambulation and Secondary Conditions among People with SCI, and (c) the development of a database of outcomes of people with SCI in South Carolina, funded by the SCIRF. In addition, a non-competing renewal was obtained for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant, R01, a ten-year study of secondary conditions after SCI. Four additional projects have carryover funds including: (a) 35-year study of aging and
