Monthly Webinars
COVID-19 has altered the way we connect and engage with our alums and that’s not all bad. In March, we embarked upon a monthly webinar series that has turned out to be an exciting way to highlight alumni succeeding in the field and finding new ways to alter the delivery of care. RECENT TOPICS: ◗ Keeping Patients Safe During COVID-19 ◗ Overcoming the Challenges of Working From Home ◗ Healthcare Leaders’ Role in Addressing Racial Inequity ◗ Innovations Created During the COVID-19 Crisis ■

Virtual Preceptors’ Conference
The 2020 Annual Preceptors’ Conference went virtual. Both cohorts of students (MSHA Class 55 and Class 56) prepared for this event to make it successful. MSHA alumni Maegan Dempsey (Class 50), Carolyn Hunter (Class 48),
Ross Kemp (Class 48), Sarah Newell (Class 48), Samantha Serley (Class 49,
BSHCM 2013), and administrative fellow Kevin Sommers (Class 54) hosted practice sessions which prepared the students for their roles as interviewees and ambassadors. We couldn’t create the schedules or matching process without the brain trust of Drs. Tee Hiett and Ben Ozaydin! Kudos to the students and participating organizations for making this a success! ■
