Real leadership is about relationships Message from the Interim Dean Dear Friends, As you know, the College of Health Sciences is seeking a Dean. The search firm, under the guidance of Provost Christine Riordan and our Search Committee, has worked diligently to identify the best candidates for the job. The top finalists will visit campus soon to meet with key stakeholders, including our faculty, staff and students. Early in this process, a leadership profile was developed, which outlines the opportunities and challenges ahead for the next Dean. The profile also serves as a “wish list” of the qualifications and qualities the next leader of our College should possess. A pared-down summary of the position reads: The Dean is responsible for the overall supervision and direction of the College and its programs. The Dean will provide strong leadership in the advancement of the College’s educational, research and service missions, manage its financial and human resources, promote excellence among faculty and staff, and play an important role in fundraising and alumni relations. Among the next Dean’s chief opportunities will be guiding the development of a new College Strategic Plan, which aligns with the University’s 2014-2020 plan. In addition, the next Dean will help the College navigate the University’s new budget model. The College’s growth presents an incredible opportunity, along with significant challenges. Our next leader must plan for future space and facilities needs, as the College’s programs continue to grow. Of course, a strong, creative and caring leader is needed to steer the College in the right direction, and more than that, to inspire us to work toward common goals. It occurred to me that it all boils down to one word: relationships. Real leadership is about building solid relationships. Our next Dean will rely on relationships with our faculty, staff, students, alumni, donors, colleagues on and off campus, and the people we ultimately serve. It is the strength of those relationships that will determine our success in fulfilling our mission of helping the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and beyond gain and retain the highest level of health through creative leadership and productivity in education, research, and service. As you browse through this issue of Connection, I encourage you to consider the status of your relationship with the College. Is it what you want it to be? Could it be more? Don’t just read about the success of our current students and recent graduates — become a part of that success by participating in Dinner with Kats, a networking opportunity for students, or contributing to an existing scholarship or establishing one of your own. You can mentor students or provide valuable clinical experience to our future health care providers. There are many ways you can stay connected to the College of Health Sciences. Our newly formed Office of Advancement is eager to build a relationship with you and to learn how you want to stay connected (see page 19). As we prepare to welcome the next leader of our College, we hope you will stay connected, as part of our future as well as part of our past. Warmest regards, Sharon R. Stewart, Ed.D.

Exchange Program Offers New Insight Physical Therapy program’s collaboration with Hong Kong University
T
he first exchange students from Hong Kong Polytechnic University completed their sixweek internships at KORT and the Lexington Clinic Orthopedics - Sports Medicine Center in early 2013. The exchange agreement was established in 2011 to provide students with firsthand knowledge of different health care systems and physical therapy practices outside of their own borders. The first two students to participate in the exchange were John Chau and Raymond Wong, both physiotherapy students. Chau was assigned to KORT (Tates Creek) with Matt Hall as his clinical instructor, and Wong was assigned to the Lexington Clinic Orthopedics - Sports Medicine Center with Daun Karolich as his clinical instructor. Chau and Wong provided physical therapy to patients, under the direct supervision of their clinical instructors, in the same manner that a UK PT would. Their work included initial evaluations, intervention sessions and patient education. In addition to clinical experiences, both students had the opportunity to take in a different culture, including the UK basketball experience. “Working in Lexington provided me with a completely new insight on the rehabilitation of shoulder dysfunction,” Wong said. “(In Lexington) the therapists can work very closely with the medical doctors, which provides us a more accurate diagnosis and helps us set up the treatment plan more comprehensively ... we experienced the passion of UK basketball, and we enjoyed the relaxing lifestyle of Lexington. After six weeks, I can tell I’m a Wildcat now.” Top: Raymond Wong (left) and Daun Karolich at Lexington Clinic Orthopedics - Sports Medicine Center.

Red Cross Hero of the Year: Lynn English Recognized for work with Samaritan’s Touch Clinic and Shoulder to Shoulder by Melanie J. Sparks Lynn English received the 2014 Red Cross Hero of the Year Award during a celebration May 15 at the Marriott Griffin Gate Resort in Lexington. (Left to right) Reva Williams (Andrew’s girlfriend), Andrew English (son), Lynn English, Tony English (husband), and Jean Wilson (Lynn’s mother).
L
ynn English, PT, MSEd, DPT, Associate Professor and Director of Clinical Education in the Division of Physical Therapy, was named the 2014 Red Cross Hero of the Year. This is the second year in a row that the UK HealthCare nominee submitted by the UK College of Health Sciences has won the award. Last year’s winner was Linda Allen from the CHS Student Affairs Office. English’s work with the Samaritan’s Touch UK Student Physical Therapy Clinic and with Shoulder to Shoulder Global earned her the award, which was presented to her May 15 at the Marriott Griffin Gate Resort following the seventh annual Heroes Campaign, sponsored by the Bluegrass Chapter of the American Red Cross. “It’s an honor to have our work recognized,” English said. “More people knowing about our clinic means more can be involved, which leads to more clients receiving care.” The Heroes Campaign is a community awareness and fundraising campaign that seeks to recognize those individuals who are making a difference in the community, while also supporting the local Red Cross through financial contributions. “Our goals were to strengthen the local Red Cross chapter, educate our constituents about the programs
6 UK College of Health Sciences
and services offered by the American Red Cross, and recognize community heroes,” said Terry Burkhart, Chief Executive Officer of the Bluegrass Chapter. A campaign team of 35 community leaders, led by cochairs Lexington Vice Mayor Linda Gorton and her husband, Charles, began work in February and successfully raised more than $106,000 to support local Red Cross programs and services. Campaign donors were eligible to nominate 2014 Red Cross Hero of the Year candidates. Samaritan’s Touch UK Student Physical Therapy Clinic When Lynn English went on sabbatical in the fall of 2010, she had a clear vision of what she wanted to accomplish: to improve the health and well-being of Lexington’s underserved population by providing physical therapy services in a setting that also allowed students to serve the community and to gain early clinical exposure. English knew that Lexington’s uninsured population was in desperate need of free physical therapy services, which had been provided by PT students and faculty at the Salvation Army Clinic one night a week since 2001. She also knew that model had its limitations. The
Clinic photo by Charles Bertram for the Lexington Herald-Leader.
Salvation Army Clinic was operated in a small corner of a room in the shelter. Due to the space constraints, few clients could be served, and they experienced long waits at the first-come, first-serve clinic. As a result, few clients returned for follow-up visits. The Samaritan’s Touch UK Student Physical Therapy Clinic was the result of five months of planning, research and rallying community resources. Samaritan’s Touch, which opened in January 2011, has the infrastructure and facilities that the Salvation Army Clinic lacked. It is housed, rent-free, in the UK HealthCare Samaritan Physical Therapy Clinic and open two evenings a week. Patients are able to schedule appointments through the CHS Division of Physical Therapy and experience a brief waiting time. The clinic serves six to eight clients each evening, with three PT students working hands-on with patients, under the direction of CHS PT faculty or community-based PTs who volunteer their time, while one student coordinator oversees administrative duties for the clinic. The clinic is led by student coordinators whose duties include scheduling other PT students and faculty, opening and closing the clinic, and managing the clinic’s supplies. While the clinic provides practical clinical experience, English also sees it as an opportunity to instill a service mindset in PT students with the hope that they will carry it forward into their careers. “I have a strong sense that part of being a physical therapist should include being altruistic and thinking of those who don’t have access to care,” English said. “I encourage physical therapy students to consider the service component of their careers.” English, who also coordinates the physical therapy component for UK’s Shoulder to Shoulder Global efforts in Ecuador, has been most inspired by seeing the student
response to helping their clients improve. “They say it is a powerful learning experience – without the pressure of grades – to see the change in their clients and to know that they empowered that change,” English said. Maggie Heaberlin, a second-year Doctorate of Physical Therapy student from Paintsville, experienced the power of transformation while helping a client with chronic back pain who felt relief after just one session. She says that her experiences with Samaritan’s Touch will influence her career. “At Samaritan’s Touch, it doesn’t matter who they are or why they came to the clinic – my goal is to treat them with kindness, respect, and the best knowledge available to me,” Heaberlin said. “I aim to carry these experiences over to my career as a physical therapist. I can’t wait to explore opportunities to serve the underserved once I become a clinician.” Ann Blackford, UK Public Relations, contributed to this story.

PAS Program & Norton Healthcare Partner Preceptor partnership supported by $715,000 grant by Melanie Sparks
T
he CHS Physician Assistant Studies program and Norton Healthcare have launched a preceptor partnership program. The first cohort of physician assistant (PA) students began their clinical clerkship rotations with preceptors in the Norton Healthcare system in Louisville in June. Norton Healthcare has pledged nearly $715,000 over three years through its James R. Petersdorf Fund to support the preceptor program, which will develop a robust network of qualified PA preceptors within the Norton Healthcare system. The preceptors will teach, supervise and evaluate PA students during their clinical clerkship rotations. “The College of Health Sciences is proud to continue the tradition of partnerships between Norton Healthcare and UK,” said Sharon R. Stewart, Ed.D., CHS Professor and Interim Dean. “Our college is by (Left to right) Top row: Emily Goedde, Aisha Odell, definition interprofessional and collaborative, and the network of Norton and Williard Mazhawidza. Middle row: Lillie Becht, Healthcare preceptors will only enhance the clinical training our PA Catherine Jarrett, and Eric Heely. Bottom row: Brad students receive.” Schwarz, Amber Christian, Reecha Shah, Elizabeth UK HealthCare and Norton Healthcare have a history of collaboration, Mann, Sharon Stewart, and David Fahringer. including alliances in clinical programs, workforce, education and research. The organizations believe that there is power in partnership, and the ultimate goal is to improve health care for all Kentuckians. “The preceptor partnership is an absolute win-win,” said James M. Frazier, M.D., Norton Healthcare Vice President for Medical Affairs. “University of Kentucky students receive training from our skilled preceptors and in return we ensure that some of the best and the brightest will have the opportunity to join Norton Healthcare post-graduation.” Physician assistants play a vital role in providing access to quality health care. PAs examine, diagnose and treat patients under the supervision of physicians. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of physician assistants is projected to increase 38 percent from 2012 to 2022. Its growth far outpaces the projected 10.8 percent employment increase across all occupations for the same period. “We are seeing a significant shift in health care. The demand for a qualified team of heath care professionals is greater than ever,” said Brad Schwarz, M.S., PA-C, Director of UK’s Division of Physician Assistant Studies (PAS). “Physician assistants are an integral part of that team. It is exciting to see that Norton Healthcare is on the leading edge in regard to the role physician assistants will play in the future of health care, not only through hiring PAs but through educating PAs as well.” The UK PAS program was established in 1973 and is offered on UK’s primary campus in Lexington and on the rural campus of Morehead State University. The PAS program currently enrolls 171 full-time students and consists of a 93-hour program, which includes 13 months of intensive clinical clerkship rotations. Students must successfully complete 10 distinct clinical clerkships during their clinical year. The PAS program currently has more than 700 affiliation agreements in place with community-based preceptors and clinical education agreements with health care facilities. The initial group of nine students who will begin their clerkships in June are being referred to as the “Norton Nine.” One of those students is Eric Heely, a 2001 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point who served in the South Zabul Province in Afghanistan. Heely said his desire to become a PA began when he was deployed in Afghanistan in 2008. “In the Army, PAs hold a very direct role in soldier health care,” Heely said. “At my Fort Polk group, we had a Battalion-level PA, and he was the most respected officer in the unit. Having that primary care role of working with patients directly is what really appeals to me about being a PA.” Heely, who is originally from Clovis, California, lives in Louisville with his wife and daughter. He said he and his family have had positive experiences as patients in the Norton Healthcare system, and he is looking forward to beginning his clinical clerkship rotations close to home. For 128 years, Norton Healthcare’s faith heritage has guided its mission to provide quality health care to all those it serves. Today, Norton Healthcare is a leader in serving adult and pediatric patients throughout Greater Louisville, Southern Indiana, the commonwealth of Kentucky and beyond. The hospital and health care system is the Louisville area’s third largest private employer, providing care at more than 140 locations throughout Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana. The Louisville-based not-for-profit system includes five Louisville hospitals with 1,837 licensed beds; seven outpatient centers; 12 Norton Immediate Care Centers; nearly 12,000 employees; some 654 employed medical providers; and approximately 2,000 total physicians on its medical staff. In 2013 Norton Healthcare was named by Healthiest Employers as the seventh healthiest place to work in the country. More information about Norton Healthcare is available at NortonHealthcare.com.

Q & A with New Faculty: Ming-Yuan Chih Ming-Yuan Chih, Ph.D., M.H.A., joined the CHS faculty in January 2014 as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Health Science, Education, and Research. Q: You earned your doctoral degree in Industrial Engineering with a focus in Health Systems Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. How may the principles of engineering be applied to improve health care? A: The focus of industrial engineering (I.E.), in the simplest terms, is to improve everything. In the 70s, a handful of industrial engineers began applying I.E. methods to make health care safer and more effective. This field was later called health systems engineering or other similar names. In the late 90s, we began to see a variety of I.E. methods including quality improvement, human factors, operations research and information technology, applied to health care. To be more specific, at UK healthcare, health systems engineers now work with clinicians to apply the Toyota eight-step quality improvement method. Some health systems engineers used airline crew training to reduce communication errors among clinical team members. Other health systems engineers developed mathematical models and software applications to help clinicians and patients make better decisions. Health care should be safe, timely, equitable, efficient, effective, and patientcentered, which requires an inter-disciplinary approach to apply lessons learned from other industries. Q: You recently co-authored a publication in JAMA Psychiatry titled “A Smartphone Application to Support Recovery From
Alcoholism: A Randomized Clinical Trial.” How does smartphone app technology help recovering alcoholics with sobriety? How you are continuing this line of research at UK? A: Patients may have long wait times to receive care from addiction treatment providers. However, they cannot wait because triggers happen in the moment and can lead to relapse. The idea behind the app is to offer patients support at home. The app offers training in skills, such as meditation, which can be helpful for sobriety. It offers access to a social network, patient success stories, and to care providers. It allows them to find addiction recovery meetings, using GPS based on their location. Based on the same location technology, patients are alerted when they are near risky locations, such as a bar. I’m continuing this line of research at UK by looking at whether patients with addiction or other chronic conditions can be helped with the use of apps. For example, the ongoing patient data collected via an app may provide information as to how providers can help patients at the moment. Q: What brought you to the UK College of Health Sciences? A: I was very excited to find that the Human Health Sciences (HHS) program (where my appointment is) educate students in non-traditional ways — programs that offer not only the basics but also a broader perspective, including policy, law, cultural competency, and patient advocacy. Students can learn a lot in the HHS program about being patient-centered providers. They can learn how to work well in inter-disciplinary teams to help patients together, before going on to become PTs, PAs, physicians, pharmacists, or dentists. HHS has a great potential to grow. I am enthusiastic about the new approach to health care education.

2013 Alumni Hall of Fame Inductees Russell E. Miller, Physical Therapy, ’80
R
ussell E. Miller, MS, PT, ATC, received a Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education, from Wilmington College in Ohio in 1966. He received a Master of Science in Health and Safety with an emphasis on Athletic Training from Indiana University in 1968. Miller then earned a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Kentucky in 1980. Miller, who is retired, worked most recently as a consultant for Avacore Technologies, a company in Ann Arbor, Mich., which developed a device to augment natural body cooling. He began his career in Athletic Training prior to receiving his degree in Physical Therapy. Over a span of 13 years, Miller worked as Head Athletic Trainer at Wilmington College, DaPauw University, and Western Kentucky University. In 1980, Miller became dual-credentialed as a licensed Physical Therapist and a certified Athletic Trainer. Miller served as Head Athletic Trainer for the University of Michigan and developed and directed the Physical Therapy Department at UM’s Medsport Sports Medicine Clinic. In 1991, he began working as Senior Athletic Trainer for the Detroit Tigers Professional Baseball Team, where he advanced to Medical Director and Head Athletic Trainer before retiring from Athletic Training in 2002. Miller has been influential on a national level, serving as a member of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) since 1964. He was part of the original NATA committee that developed the certification requirements for the Board Certification for Athletic Trainers. Miller has held service and leadership positions within multiple professional organizations, including the American Academy of Sports Dentistry, the Michigan State Medical Society (Sports Medicine), and the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Association. Miller has also shared his knowledge and expertise with many lectures, publications and presentations. Miller is an excellent role model for both AT and PT students because of his commitment and service to the profession, according to Tim Uhl, ATC, PT, Ph.D., who is Co-Director of the Musculoskeletal Laboratory, and Associate Professor, Division of Athletic Training. During his time as a graduate assistant in Athletic Training at the University of Michigan, Uhl worked with Miller and said his support of research inspired Uhl to pursue a master’s thesis project. In addition, his work as a clinician and teacher was an inspiration to Uhl. “As a clinical supervisor, he taught the students and his staff how to interact with athletes, coaches, and physicians, in order to meet their individual expectations. He was remarkable in educating the physicians about the coaches’ and athletes’ concerns regarding injury and facilitated the best outcome and care for his athletes,” Uhl said. “He epitomized the role of master clinical practitioner and problem solver.” Uhl shared an experience in which he and Miller implemented what would now be called evidence-based practice to develop a protocol for treating muscle strain re-injuries in football players. Their approach incorporated Miller’s clinical expertise with Uhl’s research into the literature on the subject to develop a rehabilitation protocol, which Miller presented during the NATA Annual Symposium in 1990. “In the audience at this meeting was a young graduate student from Old Dominion University by the name of Tim Butterfield, who was very interested in understanding muscle injury and was inspired in part, by this lecture to pursue his professional career in studying muscle injuries,” Uhl said. “Russ has had a direct influence on two of the Division of Athletic Training faculty by inspiring us to pursue our careers and this subsequently resulted in a positive impact for the University of Kentucky as we are both now tenured Associate Professors.” 16 UK College of Health Sciences
Lori S. Gonzalez, Speech-Pathology & Audiology, ’79
L
ori Stewart Gonzalez, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, received a Bachelor of Arts in SpeechPathology & Audiology from the University of Kentucky in 1979. She then pursued graduate work, receiving a Master of Arts in Communication Disorders from Eastern Kentucky University in 1981, and earning a Doctorate in Communication Disorders from the University of Florida in 1989. Gonzalez, a native Kentuckian, began her academic career at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (SIU) in 1988. As an Assistant Professor, she assumed the role of Director of Supervision & Clinical Training at SIU. In 1991, she returned to UK as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Communication Sciences and Disorders. Gonzalez devoted 20 years to UK, moving up to Professor, then serving the College of Health Sciences as Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, and later serving as Dean. Gonzalez was selected as an American Council on Education (ACE) Fellow in 2001, providing her with an opportunity to work with and learn from a variety of college and university presidents. Following her ACE Fellowship, she returned to UK and became more engaged in campus leadership and governance. Following a national search in 2005, she was appointed the third Dean of the UK College of Health Sciences. Gonzalez served as Dean for seven years. Under her leadership, the research profile of the College was significantly elevated. The College continued its tradition of excellence in teaching, research and service, and Gonzalez remained directly engaged, facilitating excellence across the college. Among her priorities were mentoring young professionals and faculty, as well as supporting staff development. Her national leadership was recognized again in 2007 when she was named a Fellow of the American Speech-LanguageHearing Association and in 2008 when she was named a Fellow of the Association of Schools of Allied Health Professions. In 2012, she received the Outstanding Alumni Award from the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the University of Florida. While at UK, Lori was also recognized for teaching excellence and her leadership on diversity issues and work-life issues. “Along the road from her days as an Assistant Professor to her current position as a chief academic officer for a university, Gonzalez has contributed volumes to her profession and higher education through numerous publications and presentations,” said Jody F. Deem, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Associate Professor, Division of Communication Sciences and Disorders. “She has mentored countless master’s and Ph.D. students to completion of their degrees and on to their successful careers. Most importantly, she has been a fair and caring colleague who moved her agenda forward to the betterment of students, faculty, staff, and the university.” In 2011, Gonzalez was named the first female Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor at Appalachian State University in Boone, N. C. She resides in the mountains of western North Carolina with her husband, Randy, and their son, Clay, who attends the University of Michigan. “I have had the opportunity to work with Lori as her colleague and friend during her years at UK,” Deem said. “I cannot think of an individual who would be a better role model for our students than Dr. Gonzalez. Having received her undergraduate degree from UK, she provides an image of just what young professionals can hope to achieve at a national level, given drive and effort.”
